Preview and Teams Comparison.
The reverse fixture of this clash between the two highest-ranked nations in Group F was not as closely matched as some might have expected, as Sweden (FIFA rank: #18) conceded three goals in the final half-hour after a goalless first half (#7). Interestingly, Sweden have not fared well across their last seven competitive clashes against opposition ranked in the top ten by FIFA (W1, L6). Notably, five of those seven games were settled by just a single-goal margin, though four of the defeats saw them concede at least twice.
Spain boss Robert Moreno failed to guide his team to victory for the first time during his tenure, as they drew 1-1 with Norway last time out (W5, D1 – including caretaker games). However, Spain have won by at least a two-goal margin in all but one of the fixtures that he’s been in charge, and they have scored in both halves in all but one of the away games. Spain have not lost a World Cup or EURO qualifying away game since the opening match of EURO 2016 qualifying (2-1 vs Slovakia). Since then, eight of their 11 away qualifying victories have come ‘to nil’ (W11, D2), though only five saw at least a two-goal margin (45.45%).
