Despite both sides losing their openers, it wasn’t unexpected. However, Wales were very impressive in defeat to New Zealand and should be far too good for Spain.

Head to Head

These sides have not met recently.

Wales U20 Form

Wales U20 lost their opening game of the tournament which puts some pressure on them in the coming games.

Despite going down to New Zealand, a game Wales were expected to struggle in, they put in a fine display. They ultimately lost the game 41-34 but not many expected them to get within a converted try.

This Thursday, Wales will be looking for maximum points against Spain.

Wales are very likely to make quite a few changes to their side with a five-day turnaround. Regardless, they should possess enough quality to get the win over Spain.

Spain U20 Form

Spain, as expected, lost quite heavily in their opening U20 World Championship game against France. This is not the level Spain often competes at, so it will do them wonders playing top nations.

While they began the game quite competitive, Spain eventually ran out of steam against France, losing 49-12. This fixture against Wales should give them a bit more hope and probably the one game they would have targeted for a possible upset.

Expect changes to the Spanish side for this fixture. Having played on Saturday, the turnaround will force all teams into changes.

Verdict

Wales v Spain U20

I am backing Wales to bounce back with a win by 20+ points.
