Team Form & Recent Performance – Georgia vs Spain
Spain sit firmly at the top of Group E with 12 points from 4 matches (4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses). They have been the most dominant team in the group, scoring freely and not conceding a single goal in the qualifiers so far.
Under manager Luis de la Fuente, La Roja have combined attacking variety with superb organisation and tactical balance. Across their first four qualifiers, Spain have produced outstanding numbers: 15 goals scored and 0 conceded, including two consecutive clean-sheet wins in September and October.
Their most recent result was a 4–0 victory over Bulgaria, where Mikel Merino scored twice and Ferran Torres impressed in the attacking build-up. Earlier in October, Spain also defeated Georgia 2–0 at home, controlling the match with composure and superior possession.
Spain’s modern playing identity reflects fluid positional rotations, high-intensity pressing, and extended phases of ball circulation. Their possession dominance has been a highlight throughout the campaign, regularly surpassing opponents by wide margins.
Importantly, Spain are competing without several key players — including Lamine Yamal, Rodri, and Nico Williams — yet their squad depth has been strong enough that the overall performance level has remained consistently elite.
