Spain will be seeking revenge against Scotland when the two nations lock horns at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville for a Euro 2024 qualifier on Thursday night.
La Roja were surprisingly beaten 2-0 by the Tartan Army at Hampden Park on matchday two earlier this year courtesy of two goals from Scott McTominay.
A 2-1 win over Italy in the Nations League semi-finals in June was followed by a penalty-shootout success against Croatia in the final, and they have since recorded two thumping victories over Georgia and Cyprus in Euro 2024 qualifying.
Indeed, a hat-trick from captain Alvaro Morata inspired Spain to a 7-1 away win over Georgia last month, four days before they hit six past Cyprus without reply to keep them in contention to secure top spot in Group A.
De la Fuente's men still have plenty of work to do if they wish to knock Scotland off their perch at the summit of Group A, as they currently sit six points behind the Tartan Army with a game in hand; a win on Thursday would move La Roja to within three points of Scotland heading into their final three qualification fixtures.
