Scotland will be aiming to continue their winning start in Euro 2024 qualifying as they face Spain in Seville. The Scots have won all five of their previous matches in the campaign, including a notable victory over Spain at Hampden Park earlier this year. A win tonight would secure their qualification for the tournament in Germany next summer, or they will qualify if Norway fail to beat Cyprus in the other Group A fixture.
Spain, however, are in great form, with manager Luis de la Fuente leading them to victory in the Nations League. They will be confident of defeating Scotland this time around. Spain have played one game fewer than Scotland and can move within three points of the leaders with a win, putting them in contention for a place at Euro 2024.
The top two teams from Group A will progress to the tournament, and Spain will secure their place with victories over Scotland and Norway on Sunday.
