Scotland – Spain

The favourites will have a tough trip to Glasgow, but they must win.

Scotland and Spain approach the second match of their European Championship qualifying fixture as Group A leaders. The British team took on Cyprus in their opening game in Glasgow and achieved a resounding 3-0 win. While the result looks impressive, the Scots' victory cannot be called a certainty. Midway through the first half they scored the only goal of the game until the 87th minute. Towards the end of the match, the substitute Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay sealed the brace, which calmed down the local crowd. The Spanish team were equally favoured to take on Norway. This match looked as if it was a copy of the Scottish game. Olmo scored midway through the first half, and Joselu, who came on the pitch in the 81st minute, was the author of two goals in the 85th minute - 3-0. Bookmakers predicted that the visitors were the favourites to win the upcoming game at odds of 1.66. The Scottish team have played brilliantly over the past two years. The Great Britain's side finished the World Qualifiers with a six-game winning streak, but suffered a setback in the play-offs against Ukraine. Clarke's side secured their revenge in last year's Nations League by edging Ukraine in the relegation battle. In six games, the Scots lost just once, allowing them to clinch promotion to next season's Liga A. The Spanish side's failure to qualify for the World Cup in November led to the departure of Luis Enrique, who was replaced by Luis de la Fuente who has coached Spanish teams of almost every age in the last decade. The match against Norway was the first one for the new coach of the main team of the country. In general, Luis de la Fuente has someone to mould Champions. The Spanish national team consists of a large number of high quality players, who won the right to participate in the Final Four of the Nations League in the autumn of last year, beating Portugal in the last round. The Spanish national team is now hungry for wins. The new coach, a disappointing finish to last year's campaign and a fairly young Red Fury squad contribute to that. It's a good bet that the visitors will get three points.
