USA vs Spain Predictions


The USA have recorded two wins in the competition so far and have been in solid form. Spain picked up their first victory in the 2026 Nations Cup last weekend but have been prone to inconsistent performances.

  • USA have won 4 of their last 6 matches.
  • USA have won both their Nations Cup games.
  • Spain have won 2 of their last 5 fixtures. 

Head to Head


The United States have a slight edge over Spain, with two victories to one. 

USA Form 


The USA played a solid second half of rugby against Zimbabwe last weekend, winning 31-15 after trailing their opponents 15-12 at half-time.

Before that performance, the USA Men's Eagles secured a narrow victory over Portugal in their Nations Cup opener, winning 30-29.

The United States are second in the Americas-Pacific Pool with nine points from two matches.

The USA will be happy to have secured back-to-back victories in the Nations Cup and will have the belief they can win when they take on Spain, as their opponents have registered two wins in their last five fixtures.

Spain Form 


Spain returned to form in their Nations Cup clash with Tonga last weekend, winning 32-19 after leading 17-5 at the break.

Earlier in the competition, the Spaniards had to settle for a share of the spoils in the opening match, drawing 42-42 with Canada.

The Los Leones occupy second place in the European-African-Asian Pool with eight points after two rounds.

Spain bounced to back winning ways after dropping points in their opening Nations Cup match, but will have to play well to beat the United States, as their opponents have won four of their last six fixtures, including three in a row.
