Spain will be looking to win their third straight game in all competitions when they take on Georgia in the Euro 2024 Qualifiers on Friday.
La Roja last defeated Croatia in the Nations League final, after overcoming Italy 2-1 in the semi-finals. However, after opening their European Championship qualification campaign with a 3-0 win over Norway, Luis de la Fuente's side suffered a 2-0 loss to Scotland in the last Group A tie.
Georgia are also in a similar run, but having played a game in surplus. Willy Sagnol's men played a 1-1 draw with Norway and beat Cyprus 2-1 win over Cyprus, but Scotland downed them by the same margin Spain lost against the Scotsmen in March.
