Spain will visit Georgia on Friday for their third game of the 2024 Euro qualifiers, after the side coached by Luis de la Fuente won the opening game against Norway before losing to Scotland. La Roja have only played two matches so far, as the Spanish side played in the UEFA Nations League final four over the summer. Spain are fourth in Group A on three points, already nine points behind leaders Scotland, but they have two games in hand on the team at the top of the group, while there is only a one-point gap to second.
Georgia started their Euro 2024 qualification campaign with a 1-1 draw against Norway on March 28 before recording a 2-1 victory over Cyprus on June 17, but they will enter this match off the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Scotland on June 20. They are currently second in the group, one point ahead of Spain. Here's our storylines, how you can watch the match and more:
