Game Prediction
In Europe, there will be few official matches between national teams, and all of them will take place on Thursday as part of the penultimate round of qualification for several spots at the upcoming continental championship. The remaining national teams will use this window for friendly matches. Spain has opted for an original approach: they will play against Colombia in London. Will they manage to defeat the guests from Latin America on neutral ground? The expert department of the website has made their prediction for the match on March 22, 2024.
Spain is preparing for the upcoming Euro
After the "golden" period of 2008-2012, the "Furia Roja" went through a challenging phase. It seemed to improve under Luis Enrique. In the last continental tournament, they only lost to Italy, the eventual winners, in the semifinals after a fierce battle. However, there was a slump at the World Cup, and upon returning from Qatar, Luis Enrique was shown the door. He was replaced by De la Fuente. Despite an unexpected loss to Scotland in the spring, the young team managed to surpass everyone in the qualifiers and secured a spot in the Euro by finishing first in their group.
Colombia pleasantly surprises with an unbeaten streak
Ten years ago in Brazil, the "Cafeteros" surprised everyone by reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Four years later, they again advanced from the group stage, but they missed out on the latest World Cup. While people were discussing the aging stars like James Rodriguez and Falcao, the new coach, Nestor Lorenzo, rebuilt the team, and they have been undefeated for over a year now. In the first six matches of the new qualifiers, they secured three victories, including one against Brazil, and earned 12 points. They also had at least draws in friendly matches. However, is their form intact after the winter break?
Previous matches
Although historically familiar, the countries have only played each other twice as representatives of different continents. In 2011, "La Furia Roja" won narrowly, and in 2017, there was a 2-2 draw.
