Uzbekistan vs Spain: key statistics and trends
- Uzbekistan has failed to win 3 times in a row.
- Spain has won 4 out of 6 previous matches.
Uzbekistan – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Young Wolves” will play at the Olympics for the first time. To achieve this, it was enough to perform strongly at the Asian Cup in this age group – by the way, this was the fourth time in a row at such tournaments. The team became the winner in China in 2018, and it reached the final this spring in Qatar (5 wins, 12-0 goal difference), but there happened a minimal failure to the Japanese there.
It is reasonable to mention that friendly games were less successful. In June, the team first played a 1-1 draw in the struggle with Mali in Tashkent, and then a couple of days later lost to this opponent with a 1-2 score.
Spain – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Furia Roja” achieved the same result at the continental level as its opponents in the Asian Cup. This is the silver medallist of last year’s Euro, but in the U-21 format. Then, Santiago Denia’s wards confidently reached the final, but lost to England with a 0-1 score there.
Now, it is quite difficult to say how the national team will play – it has not played control matches. Still, it will include Fermin Lopez and Alex Baena, who were among those who won the Euro 2024.
