It’s been a pretty easy ride for Spain so far in this qualifying group. A nervy opener against Norway saw Luis Enriquez’ side win 2-1. This was followed with wins over Malta (2-0) and the Faroe Islands (4-1).
However, the real test for Spain is set to come this Monday night with the visit of Sweden.
The Swedes kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 win over Romania. Janne Andersson’s side then went on to draw 3-3 with Norway before claiming a comprehensive 3-0 win over Malta.
Could Spain be for the taking in this contest? Well, they have only managed three wins from their last six home games.
While Sweden’s away form may not be a spectacular one, wins over Mexico and Turkey show that they can threaten and beat tough opposition in hostile atmospheres.
Nevertheless, going against Spain is not something we are prepared to do just yet. Therefore, the recommendation is to back the hosts to claim a slender win.
