Spain vs Cyprus Live: ESP vs CYP LIVE – Cyprus, the bottom group of Group A in the Euro 2024 qualification campaign, welcomes Spain for its final match. Spain has already qualified to the Euro 2024 Finals with only two matches remaining. Georgia will be their final opponent after their match with Cyprus. Cyprus, on the other hand is at the bottom of their table and has one of the worst defensive records in the competition. They will be eager to finish the campaign as quickly as possible.
Spain has qualified for the Euro 2024 finals despite only having 2 games left. They have earned 15 out of 18 possible points. La Roja has the same number of points as Scotland, who is ranked 2nd after 6 matches. Both teams have the same head-tohead record.
