Preview
Greece eye a return to winning ways after their 2-0 away loss to Sweden last month. Forsberg and Isak’s goals ensured a first defeat of the campaign for the Greek side.
This left them in 3rd place with 9 points from 6 matches in Group B.
On the other hand, Spain will look to put away their Nations League finals loss to France and continue their good run in the qualifiers.
The Spanish side beat Kosovo 2-0 away in their previous clash where Fornals and Torres scored in either half.
This win keeps Spain in 2nd place with 13 points from 6 matches and helps them stay in contention for qualification to the World Cup finals.
It’s a battle between 2nd and 3rd here and the winner holds advantage in the race for qualification.
Both sides met in Spain in March during the qualifiers where it finished 1-1.

Prediction: Greece 1-2 Spain
This should be an interesting clash given the qualification advantage at stake. Both sides aim to return to winning ways following their respective losses.
But with Spain’s attacking arsenal and formidable form, we see them nicking this one but not without a strong fight from the hosts.
Greece has been indifferent in the qualifiers. Hence, we do not see them clinching this one.
