Cyprus vs Spain Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th November 2023
Cyprus take on Spain in Alphamega Stadium looking to secure their first point at all in this qualifying campaign.
It was an enormously entertaining 6-0 match, when these two sides last played each other in the European Championship. A similar feast of goals would go down well this coming Thursday.
Cyprus take on Spain as number 124 in the FIFA world ranking, whereas the visitors sit as number 8 in the world.
Cyprus were never going to make it out of this group in the first place, but they have nevertheless been poor like we haven't seen since the seventies. Spain secured their ticket to Germany in the previous round and can thus treat this as a training seance.
