La Roja's European Qualifiers were not as easy as some might have thought when they started. With their 2-0 victory against Slovakia last Saturday, Spain's prospects of finishing this stage as the top seeded team in their group increased, and when you look at their next opponent, their future could not seem brighter.
Hosting Vicente del Bosque's men will be Macedonia, who currently hold the last place of the group, fifteen points away from the powerful Red Team. With a couple of absences due to suspension, Macedonia's chances of shocking the Spaniards are slim, but anything could happen when both sides meet this Tuesday.
Macedonia
The hosts hope to save face in front of their home crowd for the first time in five games, since they haven't been able to defeat La Roja in their previous meetings. The last time these two teams met in Macedonian territory ended up with a 3-2 win for the away team, something that players such as Vanche Shikov and Daniel Mojsov will try to prevent. During the first round of games in Group C, Spain destroyed Macedonia with a 5-1 score line, clearly showing the difference between both teams.
The Macedonians have lost their five most recent games in the Euro Qualifiers, conceding 15 goals in all of their matchups.
Spain
La Roja gets to this match in high spirits after recovering the top of the Group last Saturday. This game should give Vicente del Bosque a chance to make some changes in his lineup, to prevent any suspensions thinking about their final games.
Spain's European Qualifiers record was tarnished last year, after losing against Slovakia 2-1, but after that game, the Spaniards have bounced back by scoring seventeen goals and earning four clean sheets. In fact, the last team to score against Vicente Del Bosque's men was Macedonia.
