Scotland vs Spain Match Preview

The reigning World and European champion is leading Group I's standings with perfect scoring, an average higher to 3 goals per game and many other figures that will terrorize anyone. Xavi's absence opens up a world of possibilities for the hosts, who would have to struggle hard to reach qualification upon another defeat this Tuesday.

Scotland's fittest striker Kenny Miller was substituted against Czech Republic and his performance has not pleased Scotland's coach. Young Jamie Mackie is likely to take over his place, joining Ranger's Steven Naismith on the attack.

Fernando Llorente will most surely be among Spain's starting eleven upon a flawless performance four days ago against Lithuania. Xabi Alonso is back, taking over Santiago Cazorla's place, multiplying the offensive possibilities.

It'd be hard for anyone to jeopardize Spain's leadership of the group, but the Scottish side believe it's possible to claim the second position and make it to the Euro2012. It'll depend greatly on the outcome of this game, for the three points will be essential for the hosts to keep up with Czech Republic's pace.

The Spaniards know another victory will grant them half a ticket for the next stage, but Vicente del Bosque is aware his rival will be a tough nut to crack on the High Lands. Craig Levein's 4-6-0 formation have been subject of many critics during the last days, and the fact they couldn't shot not even once against Czech's goal makes it perfectly clear they might have real problems beating Iker Casillas' goal.

Xabi Alonso missed Lithuania's game with an angina but will be ready to return to the starting squad, joining Andres Iniesta in the creative department. The presence of the experienced Merengue's is a great relief considering Scotland's packed midfield. Spain will have to overwhelm from the wings and rely on aerial play to expose Scotland's main weaknesses and take the three points back home.

When asked about the game, Vicente del Bosque declared: "I think we will see a more attacking Scotland. They are at home, they are in front of their own fans and they will be driven forward by their own supporters." The hosts are weaker on the left wing. Scotland's coach lacks real left wingers and so he'll most likely choose Steven Whittaker to occupy the left wing. He usually plays on the other side of the field, and Spain's midfielders should take this into consideration to find an easier way to break through Levein's defense.

Vicente del Bosque is following Sergio Ramos' evolution closely, as Real Madrid's defender has been experiencing intense pain on his right ankle after the last game. He performed brilliantly against Lithuania and his speed and perfect crosses allows Fernando Llorente to take full advantage of his height and aerial prowess.

It's been an intense week for the Euro 2012 qualifiers. The victory means much more than three points for both sides: Spain could secure the qualification while Scotland could close the gap opened by Czech Republic after the last game. Who will bag the victory?

Scotland vs Spain Match Report

Spain struggled hard to overcome Scotland's defensive formation, but Steven Whittaker's granted the visitors a penalty shot at the end of the first half. David Villa's opening goal changed the game and the hosts were forced to adopt a more aggressive strategy not to be left empty-handed.

Spain grew stronger on the second half. Andres Iniesta's goal at the 11th minute of the second half could have sentenced a sound defeat for Craig Levein's boys, but Steven Naismith and Gerard Pique -with an own goal- leveled the score for the hosts.

It was once again Fernando Llorente who wore the hero's crown with a powerful shot. Nine points in three matches, 10 goals scored, it's clear the World Champion will not hesitate on defending the European title.

Against Lithuania we could witness the best of Sergio Ramos, but against Scotland it was Joan Capdevilla who lead the advance. Despite the own goal, Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol are among world's top central defenders, and with Iker Casillas between the posts it's clear the Fury has one of the strongest defenses in the whole world.

"It was hard at the beginning. They played a highly physical game, but we were consistent with our idea of what football is all about. Everything seemed under control with the 0-2, but they joined the game and we had to wait until the end to secure the victory" declared Valencia's midfielder Pablo Hernandez.

Santiago Cazorla, David Silva and Xabi Alonso created plenty of opportunities for Spain's strikers, but Scotland's goalkeeper denied their every attempt. Cazorla and Silva were substituted by Pablo and Llorente respectively and Vicente del Bosque's modifications paid off quickly enough, for at the 80th minute Llorente connected a perfect cross from Capdevilla and bagged the victory for the Spaniards.

The hosts' defenders had serious troubles keeping up with Spain's pace. Stephen McManus played an excellent game and he even joined the attack whenever necessary. We could not say the same about Whittaker, who challenged Sergio Ramos twice and was sent off as the game was ending.

The Tartan army drew weapons coated in venom for the second half and were close from bagging the three points, but Del Bosque's aggressive modifications stopped Scots' comeback.

Pique redeemed himself with a brilliant attack in the last minute that went inches away after Villa shot against Allan Mcgregor's goal. Czech Republic's victory places them at the second position and the Scotlands will have to struggle to heal the Spanish wounds and claim their place among Europe's best.
