Spain will host Turkey on Tuesday, November 18, at La Cartuja Stadium for the World Cup qualifiers.

La Roja will try to qualify mathematically for the 2026 World Cup. They are currently the leaders of their group with 15 points after five matches.

For its part, Turkey is in second place in the group with 12 points after five matches. While the Spaniards have won their last five games, the Turks have recorded four victories and one defeat.

Before this match, Spain manager Luis De La Fuente called for caution around his team. Although they are favorites, he acknowledged that they can still improve and reach a better level.

"It's a case of being among the favourites. Success is having chances to fight to win," he said via FotMob.

"There's a very fine line between winning and losing. There's no such thing as a clear favourite in a World Cup. Previously, football focused on other teams, but now Spain is among the favourites."
