Spain vs Greece prediction for Thursday’s World Cup qualifier clash at Estadio Los Cármenes in Granada. Spain host Greece in the World Cup qualifier Group B opening match for both teams. Follow on for our free prediction and betting tips.
Strong Spain expected to ease past their opponents
Sixth on the FIFA world rankings table Spain start their World Cup 2022 campaign with an amazing record of being unbeaten in World Cup Qualification matches since March 1993.2010 WC winners are unbeaten in 55 matches in WCQ having won their last seven games.
Coach Luis Enrigue has one of the best Europen squads at his disposal. He has a very strong attack that scored 13 goals in the last six competitive matches, and a very solid defense that have seen the Spaniards concede just three goals in those six matches.
In their last match against Germany in the UEFA Nations League game, Spain won 6-0. La Furia Roja had completely dominated the game with 68% of Possession, 729 completed passes. Enrique’s team had 22 goal attempts of which 10 were on target.
Greece enter the game with confidence
Entering this match after a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitive games will give Greece a great confidence boost and coach John Van’t Schip will hope his team can repeat their previous three opening matches record in the WCQ games when they won their all three away games.
However, playing Spain in their own backyard may prove too tough for the Greeks as they have never beaten the Spanish side in their last three meetings, losing twice and drawing in one game.
In their last match, Greece drew with Slovenia 0-0 at home in the Nations League group stage missing the chance to advance to League B had they beat the Slovenians.
Key Stats
Spain vs Greece Prediction
So many factors make Spain the favorites to win this game unless a surprise happens. La Roja have not lost a World Cup qualification match since 1993, they also have won their last eight matches at home. They have a very good side who can beat the best teams in Europe.
Greece on the other hand have played their nations League matches in League C which consists of much weaker teams than Spain. We think Spain will win and there will be three or more goals in this game.
