Their last victory came in September 2019 when they edged out Poland 1-0 in a UEFA Nations League encounter. 
 
Meanwhile, Spain succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Ukraine in their previous match which was a UEFA Nations League match on 13 October 2019.

The defeat ended the Red Fury's 15-match unbeaten run across all competitions having recorded four draws and 11 wins. 
 
Their last win came against Switzerland on 10 October 2020 as they secured a 1-0 victory in a UEFA Nations League match.

Luis Enrique, the Spain head coach, defended goalkeeper David De Gea, who was criticised following the Red Fury's surprise defeat to Ukraine. 
 
"You can always do more, but blaming De Gea is already a bad habit," Enrique said. 
 
"If David is blamed for a game like this, switch it off and we'll leave. If you attack in a continuous way, you know there are transitions.
 
"If a team defends and keeps it at 0-0, they grow, and in one action they've caught us. We have to congratulate them."
 
The last meeting between the Netherlands and Spain was on 31 March 2015. The Flying Dutchmen emerged 2-0 winners over the Red Fury in a friendly match which was played at the very same Johan Cruyff Arena. Spain's most recent win over the Netherlands came in the 2010 FIFA World Cup final hosted in South Africa. 
 
Head-to-head statistics (last five matches in all competitions):
 
Netherlands wins: 4
Spain wins: 1
Draws: 0
