Spain - Norway Prediction, Picks and Tips
The qualifying matches for the Eurocup that will be played in 2020 in cities across Europe begin. This is a measure taken by the UEFA Executive Committee as a reason to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the competition. Up to 12 cities will enjoy matches in this European Championship, among which Spain has a candidate in Bilbao, Estadio de San Mamés. We focus on Group F in which our team makes its debut against Norway at Mestalla, needing Spain to score 3 goals or more. Group F formed by Spain, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Malta and Faroe Islands. Spain is the undoubted favorite to be the leader of the group, being its level quite superior to the rest. It is also where Luis Enrique must go molding the team to give competition for the European title so I do not think they relax in any game and, what better, than start on the right foot.
The Spanish team is superior in this match and should get the victory in this debut without problems. In the list of Luis Enrique there are quite a few changes with respect to the players that played the World Cup and that inexperience could be a handicap for them but they are still players in very good shape like Canales, Jaime Mata, Muniain, Parejo, Bernat, Mario Hermoso or Sergi Gómez. Even so good level of this selection with other regulars such as Ramos, De Gea, Morata, Busquet, Saul, Rodrigo or Jordi Alba. Luis Enrique leads the Spanish national team 6 games, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. In these games we have seen a team that continues to treat the ball well but with a verticality superior to what we have seen in the last 10 years with Del Bosque and Lopetegui. This makes it a team with more goals in favor but also sees how it suffers more in defense and is that in 6 match has scored 17 goals and has received 8. Of those 6 games, in 2 has scored 3 goals or more (1 -4 vs Wales and 6-0 vs Croatia) and in 2 others it has been in 2 goals (3-2 vs Croatia and 2-3 vs England). This offensive ability is what I trust so they can score 3 goals in their debut for the road to Euro 2020.
In addition, his opponent is not expected very dangerous, a priori. Norway is a medium / low level selection that is growing little by little but I think it still has no assets to compete against a power like Spain. The biggest problem is that defensively it is usually well structured but it has been in the Nations League against teams with a level similar to yours like Cyprus, Bulgaria and Cyprus; receiving only 2 goals in 6 games. All those equipment does not have comparison with the level of Spain reason why I do not foresee the same end. The last precedent more similar to the match that we can see here is vs Germany in the classification for the World Cup, where he endorsed 6-0 and 0-3 in the games in which they were. Northern Ireland and the Czech Republic, teams that were above them, are also teams well below the level of the big but managed to get 2 goals at home to the Scandinavians. Therefore, very important debut for this Spain of Luis Enrique who is facing his first really important game with a view to the Eurocopa 2020 where Spain is one of the candidates to get the title so I hope they give everything to get an easy victory and get confidence for the rest of the days against an opponent who, although not from the ashen Europe, has a much lower level than our national team.
