Spain will be looking to close the gap on the top of Group A standings when they take on leaders Scotland in the Euro 2024 Qualifiers on Friday.
The Spaniards' form has been excellent since June. They have won their last four matches and have scored 13 goals in their last two outings - both in Euro qualifiers. Against Georgia, Alvaro Morata recorded a hat-trick and young sensation Lamine Yamal also scored a goal to help the team win 7-1. Following that, Spain registered a 6-0 win over Cyprus, with Ferran Torres picking up a brace.
Despite recent form, Spain are only second in the standings, behind Scotland who have won five out of their five group matches so far. They have a 100 per cent win record this year in official competitions, with their only loss coming in their most recent friendly outing against England.
