CAIRO – 15 October 2018: Spain will host England on Monday night at UEFA Nations League at Estadio Benito Villamarín in Sevilla. The Spaniards hope to secure qualification to the semi-finals by achieving victory in front of their enthusiastic fans.

Spain leads the group table with six points from an away victory over England and a victory at home over Croatia; they are five points ahead of both teams who share the bottom with one point each.
The Spanish team needs a victory to be the first team to secure a spot at the semi-finals.

Both teams met at the opening game of the group in Wembley, London and the visitors achieved a 2-1 victory thanks to two goals from Saul Niguez and Rodrigo Moreno.



England fans put their hopes on their striker, Harry Kane, to lead their squad to achieve a victory and revive their chances to reach the next round.

Harry Kane is facing a tough time on the international level as he didn't score a single goal in the last six games with England. However, Spain's captain, Sergio Ramos, believes that Kane is England’s most dangerous player.

“Kane is physically a fantastic striker but technically he surprises you. He surprises a lot of people, but not me.” Ramos said on Monday.

England's manager, Gareth Southgate, trusts his team’s ability to defeat the Spaniards. He told Marca “We need to put a lot of pressure on their midfield, and we can't come to defend for 90 minutes. By the end of the match at Wembley, we understood better how to play them.”

The game will start at 8:45 (C.L.T).
