Spain wrapped up 2020 with a massive win over Germany, winning 6-0 in their Nations League group game. They are back in action in 2021 with a home game against Greece. The win over Germany presented Spain’s first clean sheet in four matches and they will be hoping the defensive issues are well addressed going to this game. With just one loss in 19 matches Spain will be favorites for a good start and the only two times they’ve failed to score in the last 19 matches, it has been against Portugal and Ukraine. They have nine straight home wins, with seven clean sheets, and in the nine home matches they’ve scored 33 goals and conceded one. Spain have one of the best records at home in World Cup qualifiers, heading to this with a 55-match unbeaten run. Of the 55, they go to this game having won each of their last seven.

Greece rank 47 places below Spain as the two nations head to face off. They are 53rd, while Spain are sixth and the visitors will be the outright underdogs here. Greece are unbeaten in their last five matches and have four clean sheets in the last five matches. However, taking on Spain at their backyard will be tougher than the opposition they’ve faced in their last five matches. The 2004 European champions have faced Slovenia, Moldova, Cyprus and Kosovo in their last five matches. Apart from Slovenia, who are ranked 62nd all the other are ranked below 100. Greece suffered their last loss the last time they met a higher ranked side – Austria (23). It is their only loss in the last 11 matches, but they haven’t done so well away from home, with just four wins and six losses in the last 12. In the last nine World Cup qualification matches, Greece have managed just two wins, against Gibraltar and Cyprus.
