Spain vs Netherlands Score Prediction
Spain left it late to rescue a result in the Netherlands on Thursday, and it wasn't until the Oranje were reduced to 10 men that they bagged the equaliser. La Roja were superb at home in their group stage campaign, winning every game and conceding just twice. Netherlands came from behind to go ahead against Spain on Thursday but will feel aggrieved they were unable to see out the win. Ronald Koeman's side also failed to win their three away matches in the group stages, drawing twice.
After leaving it late in the Netherlands on Thursday, Spain should get the job done on Sunday.
