Spain has already concentrated on the Soccer City of Las Rozas to prepare for the last two games of 2023. Those mentioned by Luis de la Fuente are measured this week against the two bottom teams in the group, Cyprus and Georgia, but they cannot be neglected. There remains a challenge to meet that may be important in the long run.
The Red currently leads Group A of the qualifying phase, with 15 points, the same as Scotland. The two teams already have the ticket to Germany but the positions remain to be elucidated. Spain is in the lead thanks to its better overall goal average (+15) compared to the Scots (+9). In particular, both teams are tied since the 2-0 result was repeated in Glasgow and Seville, respectively.
The draw, December 2
Today, Spain would not be seeded. In the draw on December 2 in Hamburg there will be six teams in Pot 1: hosts Germany and the five leaders of the ten highest-scoring groups.
Portugal, France, Belgium, England and Türkiye are now these five teams. However, Spain will surely advance to the Turks if it wins both games. Türkiyethe fifth classified, has 16 points, one more than Spain (15), but only has one match left to play against Wales.
Therefore, in the best case scenario, Turkey would reach 19 points and Spain, if it wins both matches, would be above with 21. In addition, they would secure first place in the group since Scotland also has the option of adding six points in their matches in Georgia and in Glasgow against Norway.
Fearsome rivals
The draws are always important and Spain, If you are seeded, you can avoid favorites in the first phase to the title like the current runner-up in the world, France, or Portugal, Belgium, England or the hosts Germany.
The first five in the group with the lowest points will fall into the second pot, in addition to the best second place finisher. The rivals may be strong, but less important than the previous ones. Turkey, Albania, Hungary, Slovenia and Romania start this window as hypothetical rivals, in addition to a second place finisher.
Euro 2024 format
