Macedonia – Spain . If at Macedonia there were only theoretical chances of a trip to Russian Federation, Spain is the main applicant for an exit from group. It will be difficult to create to the home team problems to guest team. On a class balkanets I cannot be compared to one of the strongest national teams of the world.
Macedonia is one of the weakest representatives of the former Yugoslavia. The team for its short history yet did not manage to be qualified never on large international tournament. There are no chances of success at it and in the current selection cycle. Only hopeless Liechtenstein Angelovski Igor managed to be changed in group tournament. Thanks to this success "red lions" are on a penultimate place. They special have no prospects. Understands it and the mentor who has invited to gatherings of absolutely young football players. In a control duel with Turkey (0:0) Macedonia could avoid defeat, but in the forthcoming meeting to it the rival having much more bigger attacking potential will resist. Not especially "red lions" are helped by native walls. In the last six house elimination games they did not gather points, thus only once they managed to pass less than two balls. Is not present as a part of owners of the left vinger Agim Ibraimi and the goalkeeper Bogatinov Martin.
Spain seeks to return on Olympe after failures in two last large tournaments. Concentration of stars as a part of the national team decreased a little, however at the disposal of a trainer's staff there are qualified performers capable to return to "the red fury" former greatness. In the current selection cycle Hulen Lopetegi's wards act adequately, however it is worth recognizing that only Italy can compete with them. In fight with "skuadry adzurry" the destiny of the direct permit to Russian Federation will be decided. In opposition with other representatives of group G Spaniards have no right to allow mistakes. "Fury Roh" not bad warmed up in a control duel with Colombia (2:2) though it was very close to defeat. In the forthcoming meeting the structure can amplify owners of an Eurocup trophy. The right defender Roberto Serkhi left because of a trauma a national team arrangement.
Conclusion : Macedonia, without having on an exit from group of chances, hardly counts on positive result in the forthcoming meeting. Trainer's staff, attracting on gatherings of young performers, starts working for prospect. Spain it is necessary to achieve success already now. It cannot relax in any way. Probably, on the finish of a selection cycle a role will be played by additional indicators. It is important to Hulen Lopetegi's ward to hammer as much as possible balls.
the Forecast – individual total Spain more than 2 (koeff. – 1.42 from BQ of the Bet match).
