Spain will play against Andorra in a friendly match on Wednesday. The game will be at Estadio Municipal Nuevo Vivero. Spain are preparing for Euro 2024 and wants to start strong. This is their third match of the year and coach, Luis de la Fuente, aims to lead the team to victory.
Spain has had a good run recently. They won the UEFA Nations League and qualified for Euro 2024 with seven wins and one loss. Spain hopes to win the European Championship again, as they did in 2008 and 2012. Before their big tournament starts, they will play two friendly matches against Andorra and Northern Ireland.
Andorra had a tough time in their recent matches. They finished last in their qualifying group with only two points from ten games. They drew with South Africa and lost narrowly to Bolivia in March. Andorra hasn’t won a game since September 2022.
Spain are expected to win, but Andorra hopes to put up a good fight and avoid a big loss like the 4-0 defeat in 2006.
