    Israel won 1-0 at Liechtenstein. Israel ended their 4 game losing streak and got up to 12 points, but they will still finish fourth unless they beat Spain and Albania doesn't beat Italy or Israel draws against Spain and Albania loses by at least 2 goals.

    Israel hosts Spain at 2:45 P.M. USA Eastern on ESPN Deportes, which is between 1 and 2 hours from now. Here are the probabilities based on the Intertops odds:

    Israel win: 8.4%
    Draw: 16.0%
    Spain win: 75.6%

    Spain qualified on Friday when Italy drew with FYR Macedonia.

    In the UEFA Nations League, Israel will play more countries near it in ability. Losing to Spain and Italy and beating Liechtenstein doesn't tell a lot because many countries would do that.
