The Spanish, who have all but qualified to the finals of the World Cup, are poised to maintain their 100% record throughout the European World Cup qualifiers.
Whereas La Roja could claim their tickets to South Africa 2010 without kicking a ball on Wednesday, victory at the Bernabeu would make their qualification sweeter.
The home side has everything needed to beat Estonia:
the support from the crowd, the experience and skill of the squad’s players, the intelligent tactics of coach Vicente Del Bosque are three things that Spain do not lack.
Sixteen points separate Group Five’s leaders Spain from Estonia who seat second from bottom in the table with 5 points out of seven matches.
Like most often, we expect Spain to dominate in every part of the field with their mesmerizing fluidity in midfield, their strength in defense, and their power in attack.
Another factor that will push the Spanish to record a good victory on Wednesday is the Fifa rankings. After losing out to the USA in the semi finals of the Confederations Cup, La Roja has lost its number one spot to Brazil.
Now with the Brazilians ensuring their qualification to South Africa 2010 in style with a 3-1 over Argentina, Spanish fans will want to see their team do the same this week.
Estonia may enter this encounter with the hope of avoiding humiliation as much as possible. Analytically, it seems that the game will be a one-sided affair with Estonia trying to outnumber the Spanish in defense. We may see Spain doing all the attacking and Estonia playing a typical negative game.
Anything different to this prospect will definitely come as a great achievement for Wednesday’s visitors Estonia.
