Spain and Saudi Arabia meet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a Group H matchday-two clash with every team still level on a single point. Spain need a response after a frustrating goalless opener; Saudi Arabia arrive in good heart after holding Uruguay.

Spain searching for the finish

Spain were the dominant force in their 0-0 draw with Cape Verde Islands, controlling 74% of possession and registering 27 shots, but could not find the breakthrough against an inspired goalkeeper. The attacking quality that made them favourites remains, and they will expect to convert that territory into goals here. They arrive with no major absentees reported and a clear need to win.

Saudi Arabia riding belief

Saudi Arabia earned a creditable 1-1 draw with Uruguay, leading for much of the contest before a late equaliser. They are organised, disciplined and dangerous on the counter, but offer limited attacking volume and will likely cede the ball to Spain. They arrive with no major absentees reported, hoping to frustrate another favourite.

Prediction: Spain to find their goals

With Spain desperate to break their duck and facing a side that will sit deep, the Spain versus Saudi Arabia prediction centres on the favourites' scoring: Spain over 1.5 goals reads as the value angle rather than simply backing the win. Around it, a Spain win reflects their quality edge, the match passing over 1.5 looks likely, Saudi Arabia are tipped to stay under 1.5, and the total going over 2.5 fits Spain's attacking dominance.
