Right from the start of this 2026 World Cup, Spain was held to a draw by Cape Verde (0-0). This Sunday, La Roja cannot afford any mistakes against Saudi Arabia in the second matchday of Group H at Atlanta Stadium.

Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, is expected to start Lamine Yamal. On the other side, the Green Falcons’ boss, Giorgos Donis, has his full squad at his disposal.

The probable starting lineups for both teams:

Spain: Simon - Porro, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella - Rodri (c), Ruiz - Yamal, Pedri, Olmo - Oyarzabal.

Saudi Arabia: Al-Owais - Abdulhamid, Al-Tambakti, Al-Amri, Al-Harbi - Abu Al-Shamat, Kanno, Al-Khaibari, S. Al-Dawsari (c) - Al-Buraikan, Al-Juwayr.
