Spain have lost only one of their last 36 competitive matches – the 2013 Confederations Cup final against Brazil – and completed preparations for this summer’s World Cup with 2-0 wins against Bolivia and El Salvador. They have not conceded a single goal in their past three matches.
Diego Costa completed 74 minutes of action in Spain's last warm up match and should be fit following a hamstring injury while Jordi Alba should start despite complaining of a toothache. Del Bosque, though, also has the option of fielding either Euro 2008 final hero Fernando Torres or Spain's all-time record goalscorer David Villa, both of whom have impressed in recent friendlies.
The Dutch also come into the game following successive victories in warm-up matches. A 1-0 win over Ghana thanks to Robin van Persie was followed by a 2-0 triumph over Wales courtesy of goals from Arjen Robben and Jermain Lens.
Louis van Gaal has absolutely no injury worries at the moment as Jonathan De Guzman recovered from a hamstring problem. The next Man Utd manager has been prepping a formation that lines-up with a back three for this very game. Ron Vlaar is set to be joined by Stefan de Vrij and Bruno Martins Indi in a three-man central defence with Blind and Janmaat the likely wing-backs. The system will see Arjen Robben play in a more central role up front alongside Robin van Persie. The Dutchman is renowned for his astute tactics and has a clear plan in mind to limit the space for Spain's creative players in this game, which could lead to a less open match.
These teams have met nine times before, sharing four wins apiece and a draw. Spain won 1-0, after extra-time and after Johnny Heitinga was shown a red card, when the two sides met in the final of the 2010 World Cup.
Dont expect to see a similar game to the brutal match in South Africa four years ago, as Netherlands will look to contain Spain without kicking them off the park. Netherlands will sit back deep to try and frustrate the Spanish attackers, and as soon as the Dutch get the ball they will look to set off Robin van Persie, and Arjen Robben up front.
Netherlands (4-3-1-2): Cillessen – Janmaat, de Vrij, Vlaar, Martins Indi – de Guzman, de Jong, Blind – Sneijder – Van Persie, Robben.
