Spain will take on Portugal in their first group game of the U-17 European championship at the Dasaki Achnas Stadium on Tuesday.
Spain ended up in second place during qualification behind Austria and a defeat against the latter was their most recent outing. They were on a five-game unbeaten run prior to that and the three-time Euro U-17 champions will be hoping to draw confidence from that run to perform in their 16th appearance in this tournament.
Portugal have only lost one out of their six matches in 2024 and won all their group games in the qualifiers. The two-time champions were unable to get past the group stage in the previous edition so that will be their primary target this time around.
