Despite claims by numerous football experts that Spain’s golden era of football has come to an end, we still regard them as one of the world’s top national teams. Their performance in the previous World Cup was below expectations, with Morocco knocking them out in the 1/8 Finals. However, post-World Cup, they claimed victory in the UEFA Nations League and convincingly topped their group in the EURO Qualifiers, earning 21 points over eight rounds. The beloved Red Fury will soon be squaring off against Colombia and Brazil in matches leading up to EURO 2024, which is set to commence in less than three months.
Colombia failed to qualify for the previous World Cup, finishing 6th in the South America region, only three points away from the desired 4th place. However, after that unsuccessful campaign, The Tricolour went on an excellent run and didn't lose in all competitions in the following 17 matches. Also, this World Cup Qualification cycle started much better for Colombia as they won 12 points in six rounds and are now in 3rd place, only behind Argentina and Uruguay.
Spain vs Colombia pick: Spain to win
Spain delivered an impressive performance in the EURO 2024 Qualifiers, securing six consecutive victories after their UEFA Nations League win against Croatia. They triumphed over formidable teams such as Norway and Scotland. The team’s offense was exceptional, netting 22 goals in just six rounds, averaging an impressive 3.67 goals per game!
There’s no denying that Colombia has been putting on a strong performance recently, with notable victories against teams such as Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and so on. However, when it comes to sheer talent and quality, we believe Spain holds the upper hand.
Historically, these teams have only faced each other twice. Spain emerged victorious in one match, while the other ended in a draw. However, the European team had the upper hand in both instances. Despite both teams currently being in top shape, we believe that Spain has a slight edge and should secure a win.
