Spain clear favorites to win at home against Cyprus

Agency :
The Spanish national team can take a big step towards assuring qualification for next summer’s European Championships today when they face Cyprus in Granada of southern Spain.

The Spanish were able to put the controversy over Football Federation President Luis Rubiales behind them on Friday when they cruised to an impressive 7-1 win away to Georgia.

That win leaves Spain with six points from their three qualifying games to date and another win would give them a cushion over Norway, who is currently third in the group.

Alvaro Morata scored a hat-trick in the game, where the only bad news for Spain were injuries to Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio, which led coach Luis de la Fuente call up Yeremi Pino and Ferran Torres as cover today.
