It's the top of the table clash in Group A of the Euro 2024 qualification campaign as Scotland welcome Spain. This matchday two fixture will be played at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Tuesday. Both teams are on three points after matchday one, scoring identical 3-0 wins. Scotland needed a late brace from Scott McTominay beyond the 85th minute to win 3-0 against a stubborn Cyprus on Saturday. This continued their impressive run in the qualifiers as Scotland are unbeaten in six straight qualifiers, although two of those wins have come via penalties. The Scottish will be looking to make it six points out of six at home in this March leg and increase their chances of qualification. They can draw confidence from their recent home form in the qualifiers as the hosts have won four straight matches in home venues.

The losing semi-finalists from last European championship, Spain are looking to extend their record of playing in every continental tournament since 1992. Although there is no imminent danger of losing that streak, a loss here could hurt Spain's chances. They started their Luis de la Fuente era with a 3-0 win over Norway, enhancing their reputation as group favourites. Dani Olmo scored the opener while Joselu scored a brace beyond the 80th minute, although new captain Alvaro Morata failed to find the back of the net. They will be wary of the pitfalls though, as Spain have drawn their last two away matches in the qualifiers, both 1-1 results.
