Spain and Croatia are set to go head-to-head for the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League trophy in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Joselu scored a late winner for Spain as they knocked Italy out in the semifinals, while Croatia defeated the Netherlands in extra time in the final four. Spain have now reached back-to-back Nation League finals.

This is first meeting between the two sides since the round of 16 in the 2020 European Championships, which was played in 2021. Spain won 5-3 after extra time in what was a dramatic fixture. 

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League final.

Spain vs Croatia lineups

Manager Luis de la Fuente is without Leeds forward Rodrigo Moreno, who reportedly didn't finish training on Saturday with a foot issue. Marco Asensio replaces him at right wing. The other change is Fabian Ruiz in place of Mikel Merino in central midfield. The backline remains the same from the 2-1 win over Italy.

Spain lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): 23-Unai Simon (GK) — 22-Jesus Navas, 3-Robin Le Normand, 14-Aymeric Laporte, 18-Jordi Alba — 16-Rodri, 8-Fabian Ruiz — 10-Marco Asensio, 9-Gavi, 15-Yeremy Pino — 7-Alvaro Morata

Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic makes just one change to the lineup after the extra-time semifinal against the Netherlands. Martin Erlic, 25, replaces 34-year-old Domagoj Vida at centre-back. Star World Cup centre-back Josko Gvardiol missed out entirely on the Nations League semifinal and final as he deals with a stomach injury.
