Spain now have Luis de la Fuente taking charge after Luis Enrique stood down from the Spain national team, with the former having been part of the Spanish FA set-up for several years and it is hoped that he can restore previous glories to a talented squad. As you might expect, La Roja are warm favourites to finish top of a qualifying section that includes Norway and Scotland.
Spain clash with the former on 25 March, when La Rosaleda plays host to an encounter which will see Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland hope to usher in a new era for Norwegian football. Stale Solbakken is an experienced coach who will oversee the team once again and there is plenty to like about his previous achievements with FC Copenhagen.
There is plenty of hope that Haaland can help fire Norway to Euro 2024 and he will certainly be a target man for his country in qualifying. A draw would be a fantastic outcome for the visitors against a Spain side who tend to perform well in order to reach the final of major tournaments. It could be that both sides are rusty after a long lay-off on the pitch.
We would warn against blindly backing a Spain side who might be looking to field an experimental team, with the draw potentially a runner. This is especially if the game is low-scoring, with the home side suffering from a lack of quality front man who can fire them to international glory once again.
