Spain play Liechtenstein on Tuesday night in World Cup Qualifier
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Rheinpark Stadion, Vaduz
This is the most one-sided match in Group G and Spain will look to consolidate their top position in the group.
Spain won 3-0 against Italy on Saturday and are all but assured direct qualification to next summers World Cup. They will be more confident going into this game.
It will be a massive success for Liechtenstein if they even score one goal against the Spaniards on Tuesday night.
The home side are yet to score a point in this qualification and it’s likely they will finish without any. They have conceded 26 goals so far and have found the net only once in seven games.
At home Liechtenstein lost 2-0 to Albania, 4-0 to Italy and 3-0 to Macedonia. While Spain won every away match except a draw in Italy.
Spain earlier beat Liechtenstein 8-0 in this qualification and have won every game against them so far and are yet to concede.
