Luis Enrique's Spain comes from a well-played UEFA Nations League playoffs, where the Spanish eliminated Italy in the semis and were toe to toe against France in the final. Spain will visit Greece, in a game that could decide whether La Roja will finish ahead of or behind Sweden. The squad captained by Sergio Busquets saw only one loss in this qualification round, defeated 2-1 at Sweden's home ground. Greece's chances of finishing second are very slim, as the Ethniki need to beat Spain and Kosovo at home, and would still need to get lucky with some results from the other nations. The team led by the Dutch coach John van 't Schip had a good run in this group stage, winning the three points against Sweden and getting a point vs. Spain away from home. The hosts come into the duel with two quite important injuries, while Spain only misses young Ansu Fati.
Greece is without the country's best player, Trabzonspor's Anastasios Bakasetas, and first-team center-back Pantelis Hatzidiakos. Throughout history, the Greeks never won against Spain at home, losing all three duels played in 1973, 2002, and 2007. Greece's only victory vs. this rival occurred back in 2003, a Euro 2004 qualifier game. Greece failed to qualify for the last 2018 World Cup in Russia, with their last WC appearance being in 2014 in Brazil. The hosts have played the most prestigious tournament in the World only three times, with their biggest success being the round of 16 in 2014.
Spain was a better opponent in its 1-1 game vs. Greece, but the penalty for the underdogs cost them the three points. I cannot see the guests failing to win here, and will predict them to do so. Good luck!
路易斯·恩里克的西班牙结束了欧国联,在半决赛中,西班牙淘汰了意大利,在决赛中与法国队针锋相对,最终不敌对手。西班牙队将做客希腊,这场比赛将决定西班牙队是领先还是落后于瑞典队。这支由塞尔吉奥·布斯克茨率领的球队在资格赛中只输了一场,在瑞典主场以1-2落败。希腊获得第二名的机会非常渺茫,因为希腊需要在主场击败西班牙和科索沃,而且还需要从其他国家的一些成绩中获得运气。由荷兰队教练约翰·范特·希普率领的球队在小组赛中表现不错,在对瑞典的比赛中得了3分,在客场对西班牙的比赛中得了1分。主队在比赛中有两个重要的伤病,而西班牙只有小将法蒂缺席。
希腊缺少了该国最好的球员,特拉布松斯波尔队的阿纳斯塔西奥斯·巴卡塞塔斯和一线队中后卫潘特利斯·哈兹迪亚科斯。纵观历史,希腊人从未在主场赢过西班牙,在1973年、2002年和2007年的三场比赛中都输掉了。希腊唯一一次战胜这个对手是在2003年,2004年欧洲杯预选赛。希腊未能晋级2018年俄罗斯世界杯,而他们上一次参加世界杯是在2014年巴西世界杯。东道主只参加过三次世界上最负盛名的锦标赛,其中最成功的一次是2014年的16强。
西班牙在1-1对希腊的比赛中是一个更好的对手,但点球让他们失去了3分。我不认为西班牙会在这里输掉比赛,我也预测他们会赢。好运!
