Spain U21 welcome Kazakhstan U21 to Cadiz for a 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier on Thursday. They will be aiming to build on the 1-0 away win they registered over Hungary last month.
Robert Navarro broke the deadlock in the 20th minute and the Iberians held on to claim all three points.
Kazakhstan, meanwhile, suffered a harrowing 3-0 defeat at home to Belgium last time out. Youssuf Sylla and Killian Sardella scored to put the Belgians 2-0 ahead. Jorthy Mokio added a third in the fourth minute of second-half injury time.
The loss left the Young Hawks in fifth spot in Group B, having garnered six points from eight games. Spain lead the way at the summit with 22 points from eight games.

Spain U21 vs Kazakhstan U21 Prediction
Spain have booked their spot at the UEFA Euro Under-21 tournament in Slovakia owing to their unassailable six-point lead at the summit of their group. Santi Denia's side are unbeaten across eight games in qualifying and are heavily fancied to continue their 100% record against Kazakhstan at this level.
Kairat Nurdauletov's side have been eliminated from the running for qualification and have not found the back of the net in three of their last four games. They have lost six of their eight games in the qualifiers, conceding at least two goals on five occasions.
