Spain will entertain Turkey at Estadio de La Cartuja in their final match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. The hosts have a 100% record in the qualifiers and have a three-point lead over the Crescent-Stars. The visitors will need to register a win by a seven-goal margin to secure direct qualification for the main event.
La Roja maintained their perfect record in the qualifiers last week, recording a 4-0 away win over Georgia. Mikel Oyarzabal bagged a brace, while Martín Zubimendi and Ferran Torres were on the scoresheet in the first half.
The visitors made it three wins in a row in their previous outing, defeating Hungary 2-0. Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored from the penalty spot in the 18th minute, and their lead was doubled in the 83rd minute, thanks to Atanas Chernev's own goal.
