After being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Cape Verde, Spain will look to bounce back as they face Saudi Arabia on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 16:00 GMT at Atlanta Stadium. The Saudis, on the other hand, will aim to build on their promising start to the World Cup, having held Uruguay to a 1-1 draw.

For their fourth meeting in history, La Roja will be eager to assert their dominance with a fourth straight victory. Having come off the bench against Cape Verde, Lamine Yamal is reportedly fit and expected to start.
