Spain v Uruguay International Friendly Betting Odds and Preview

Spain v Uruguay is a great looking match which could produce some high entertainment. Spain, the reigning European and World Champions are in their usual superb form, taking five wins and one draw away from their last six matches. The draw came in a great match against France in their World Cup 2014 qualification group. Other than that it has been business as usual for Vicente del Bosque’s men. They head out to Doha for this friendly and the key area of the match will again be in the midfield area. That is where Spain dominate by keeping the ball and because of that, they don’t concede very much. In six matches including a 2-1 win over Puerto Rico in August of 2012, Spain have conceded just three goals and have scored 18 of their own. Their last match was back in November of 2012 which ended in a 5-1 win over Panama.

In their 2014 World Cup qualifying group, Spain have averaged two goals per game and taken two wins and that draw against France away from their start. So no real sign of them slowing their world domination. This will be an interesting match against Uruguay, who have some world class forward talent at their disposal. However, they are not as powerful as they were a couple of years ago at the 2010 World Cup and when they won the 2011 Copa America. They are well below that. Indeed,the Uruguayans have won just one of their last six international matches, losing half of them. Their demise in form has left them in a real scrap to try and make it to Brazil 2014 in the tough South American zone. Uruguay though are unbeaten in their last eight matches against European opposition, and their last match was a 3-1 win over Poland back in November of last year. Despite their forward talent, they strangely are struggling badly for goals with just five in their last six.

It should be another win for Spain who won the last meeting between the two back in August of 2005. Prior to that they had met just once, that being at the 1990 World Cup, a game which ended in a 0-0 draw. Uruguay are below their best and Spain are well, just Spain.
