Spain vs Greece Team News
The 2010 World Cup winners have some new faces in the squad, with Barcelona teenager Pedri amongst those hopeful of making his debut. Sporting’s Pedro Porro is the only recognised right-back in the squad and is likely to be awarded his first cap as well.
Greece are without Norwich City left-back Dimitris Giannoulis, who suffered a head injury in the Canaries’ last game, while AZ Alkmaar defender Pantelis Hatzidiakos is also out injured.
Spain vs Greece Preview
While La Roja’s recent record on the road has been patchy, on home soil they remain incredibly impressive with nine consecutive wins in all competitions.
Their last six home victories have seen them net 33 times and they should be able to comfortably get the better of their lower-ranked opponents.
Although Greece have been solid in recent months, that solidity has been against extremely modest opposition such as Cyprus, Slovenia, Kosovo, and Moldova.

Italy beat the Blue and White home and away with little fuss in Euro 2020 qualifying while Austria recorded a 2-1 friendly win over them in October, and there is little to make us think they will cause any problems to a Spain side whose last home match saw them destroy Germany 6-0.
Spain vs Greece Tips and Predictions
The hosts are priced at 8/11 (1.72) to score in both halves with bet365, which looks like an unmissable selection given their strong scoring form.
