The continental tournament is back for its second edition with a clash between two title contenders.

How did Germany and Spain's previous UEFA Nations League campaign end?

Germany had an appalling performance in the 2018-19 UEFA Nations League, finishing in last place of their Group. Die Mannschaft was supposed to be relegated to League B, but a change of format allowed the German side to retain their spot among the top 16 teams in the tournament.

Spain ended as runners-up in Group A4 of the competition behind England and two points ahead of Croatia, who were in line to be relegated. La Roja was the most prolific team in front of goal in that group, but they were not able to make that count in order to reach the final four.

What is Germany and Spain's form ahead of this match?

The German side will make it to this game on a three-match winning streak and with four wins in their last five matches. Joachim Löw's team has not lost a single match since their 4-2 defeat against the Netherlands in the UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers.

Spain will enter this match on a six-game run without a loss. The Spanish side has won four out of those games, with the only exceptions being their one-all draws against Norway and Sweden. Spain has scored 12 goals in their last two games, while their defense has not conceded in any of those games.

Germany vs Spain - Who's in and who's out?

German boss Joachim Löw decided to leave all of Bayern's footballers out of the squad that will kick off this editon of the UEFA Nations League, as they have only been able to rest from their UCL title-winning run for a week. Atalanta's Robin Gosens and Borussia Mönchengladbach's Florian Neuhaus could make their international debuts with Die Mannschaft in this game.

Spain's coach Luis Enrique decided to leave Jordi Alba and Alvaro Morata out of the team that will face the German side. Instead, the former Barcelona tactician decided to call up Sergio Reguilón and Ferrán Torres, who recently completed a move to Manchester City. Up front, Martínez has granted a first call up to Ansu Fati, Torres and Wolverhampton's Adama Traoré.
