Spain take on neighbours Andorra in the first of their warm-up games ahead of Euro 2024 later this month.
These two nations last locked horns 20 years ago and on that day Spain cruised to a 4-0 victory thanks to goals from Fernando Morientes, Ruben Baraja, Cesar Martin and Carlos Valeron.
We're expecting another easy win for Spain on Wednesday night but Luis de la Fuente is likely to make a lot of substitutions during the game in order to test some of the fringe players he has selected ahead of his final Euro 2024 squad selection.

Spain preview: A good mix of youth and experience
Luis de la Fuente will be looking to test his uncapped and fringe players over the next couple of friendly matches ahead of the trip to Germany for Euro 2024 where Spain will take on Croatia, Italy and Albania in the group stage.
Fermín López of Barcelona and Ayoze Pérez of Real Betis are the only uncapped players in the Spanish squad and will be desperate to make their international debut against Andorra.

Andorra preview: Four players over the age of 35
Andorra didn't qualify for Euro 2024 and while the nation still struggles to win games, they are gradually improving and don't get heavily beaten as much as they did in the past.
Andorra narrowly lost 2-1 against both Israel and Switzerland during the qualifiers, also losing 1-0 in a friendly against Austria but still don't have any players playing in any of the top European leagues.
Predicted lineup: Gómes (GK), San Nicolás, Llovera, Cervós, C. García, de Pablos, Guillén, Pujol, Vales, Sánchez & Fernández

Player to watch – Fermín López
The 2023/24 La Liga campaign proved to be a breakthrough season for Fermín López and his performances earned him a place in the provisional Spain squad for Euro 2024 which boasts a good mix of youth and experience.
With 11 goals in 42 appearances across four competitions, Fermín López became a first-team regular at Barcelona this season and the 21-year-old could make his first appearance for Spain on Wednesday night.
Lopez had an impressive debut season in the Barcelona first-team
We're excited to see yet another Barcelona youth player make his international debut this week and the winger should settle in just fine as his teammates Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Pedri and Pau Cubarsí are also in the squad.
