Ex-forward Real Madrid Ronaldo considers Spain the favorite in the match of the 7th round of the qualifying round for the World Cup-2018.

On Saturday, September 2, Spain will play at home with Italy in the seventh round of the selection for the World Cup in Russia. The match is scheduled for 21:45.

"I regret that this match will be held. Draw would have been a cruel result.

It is wrong that the weaker teams in other groups can guarantee themselves a way out to the World Cup, and Spain or Italy must go through the playoffs, at the risk of not going to Russia, "quotes Brazilian legend Ronaldo Football Italia.

"Spain is a favorite. Their main advantage is that they play in Madrid. The Italians did not win the Spaniards in their field for 70 years ".
