Spain – Scotland

Spain are unlikely to experience difficulties on their home field in their meeting with the Scots

Since the very first round, the standings of Group A of the EURO 2024 qualifying stage do not look as the experts expected. The Scottish team took the lead from the first round and have not lost a single point since then. The Spanish team, which was considered the favourite of the group before the start of the qualifying campaign, has both fewer matches played and fewer points. The upcoming match will answer almost all questions about the upcoming group winner. At the same time, both top positions are equal in terms of getting a ticket to the main round of the continental championship, so, at least, the British team has a good margin before the third place, which will definitely not be levelled neither by the results of the upcoming round, nor by the results of the subsequent round. Bookmakers consider the home team the clear favourites, offering odds of 1.28 on their victory. In June 2023, the Spaniards took part in the triumphant final of the Nations League, due to which they missed the game days of selection for the EURO. De la Fuente has someone to build a new team from, he is on the right track. The main rim of the Spanish national team consists of a large number of high-quality players, who last autumn won the right to participate in the "Final Four" of the Nations League, and then won the title there. Now the Spanish national team is striving for new victories, fuelled by a new coach and the failure of the "Red Fury" at the World Cup. In the round before last, the Spaniards in Tbilisi defeated the national team of Georgia with a score of 7:1, and then with the same score difference "smeared" the team of Cyprus - 6:0. The Scottish national team excelled in last year's Nations League, having managed to win a place in League A against Ukraine, Ireland and Armenia. In the spring of this year, the British national team triumphantly entered the qualifying cycle of UEFA EURO 2024. After the first five fights, the team has five victories, each of which contained two or three goals scored in the gates of opponents. In their home walls, the Scots beat the Spanish national team. At the same time, the Spaniards then tuned in for a match against a mediocre opponent, but on Thursday the mood will be on a serious opponent and the leader of the group. We bet that the guests will not withstand the pressure of the Red Fury.
