England Vs. Spain Preview

On Friday the England team travel to Spain for an international friendly. This provides England a chance to test how strong they really are.

Despite both teams had disappointing displays during the 2014 world cup exiting at the group stage. But since then England have had a perfect record in European qualifying and Spain have had it rather easy too wining 9 of their 10 qualifying matches.

An advantage for England is that Spain are missing a couple of key players in the shape of Sergio Ramos and Isco. Although England may be missing the presence of Sturridge.

I believe the key player in this match will be Paco Alcacer, who's been in fine for scoring 5 goals in 5 games for Valencia. Alcacer goals have been a major reason Valencia are performing so well in La Liga at present. The 22-year-old has been linked to top European clubs due to his sterling performances and may be set to leave in the summer.

Score Prediction

I think the final score will be 1-1 with both managers trying to avoid injuries due to pressure form clubs. And the fact both teams will want to avoid defeat against stronger opposition than they've faced in qualifying.
