Already assured of a spot at next year's Euro 2024 finals, Spain's penultimate qualifying Group A game takes place on Thursday evening, as La Roja take on Cyprus at the Alphamega Stadium.
While the visitors are now in a two-horse race with Scotland for top spot, the final whistle cannot blow soon enough for the hosts on the back of a disastrous campaign.
From their seven fixtures in Group A so far, Cyprus have been put to the sword in all seven of them while scoring just two goals at the correct end of the field and shipping an alarming 25; only San Marino have a worse defensive record, and even then the microstate have let in just one more goal.
Furthermore, Cyprus and San Marino enter November's fixtures as two of the five teams without a win in Euro 2024 qualifying - an unwanted feat shared by Liechtenstein, Malta and Gibraltar - although Temur Ketsbaia's men did test Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili on a few occasions last time out.
However, after failing to make their opportunities count, the world's 124th-ranked nation were subjected to a second-half onslaught from Willy Sagnol's men, who strolled to a 4-0 success courtesy of efforts from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Otar Kiteishvili, Levan Shengelia and Georges Mikautadze.
