Macedonia v Spain Betting Tips
Macedonia really are not in the qualification picture at all and you won’t be seeing them at the World Cup 2018 that’s for sure. They have collected just the three points in their qualification effort so far and that came in an away win over bottom side Liechtenstein. Three of their seven goals entered in qualification were scored in that one match so they aren’t a major threat of course. At home in the qualification campaign, Macedonia have lost against Italy and Israel so far, but both defeats were only by a one goal margin. Spain to win by a one goal margin at Coral is a price of 10/3 and looks decent value. Spain have won their last two visits to Macedonia by that very margin. Macedonia have gone W2 D1 L3 in their last six games played and are unbeaten in their last three. They have taken a clean sheet in each of their three games following their 4-0 away defeat in Spain during qualification.
Spain are clear favourites for this one and they are going to take some stopping. They need to keep going at the top of the table to keep Italy off their tails. The Spaniards have gone W4 D2 in their last six games, dropping just the two points in qualification so far in an away draw with Italy. They have been on point aside from that and they have rattled off 19 goals in their five matches so far. That having been said, only three of those have come away from home. Away from home in the group, Spain took a 1-1 draw in Italy and beat Albania 2-0. So you can expect a low scoring game. In the bet365 correct score market a Spain 2-0 option is at 4/1 while the 1-0 win for them, which was the scoreline on their last visit there, is a price of 6/1. Diego Costa and Vitolo are joint top scorers for Spain so far in the group and they are 4/6 and 6/5 in the anytime goalscorer market respectively.

Macedonia v Spain Predictions
Spain to win: This is just going to be a test of Spain’s patience more than anything. They are a class above the Macedonians and have won their last two visits there by a one goal margin. Look for a repeat of that.
