Away

Spain's positional game and ability to dominate possession should leave Saudi Arabia chasing the ball for long stretches, and the gap in individual quality is considerable. The Saudis can frustrate with a disciplined low block, but sustaining it for ninety minutes against this midfield is a demanding ask. The likeliest path to a surprise is a Spanish off-day in front of goal rather than anything Saudi Arabia impose themselves.

• Spain's midfield control and possession dominance
• Saudi Arabia's reliance on a compact defensive block
• Spain's depth and superior individual quality
