On the back of their win two years ago in the European Championships, Spain are one of the favourites to lift only their second World Cup following success in 2010, but their recent outings on the world stage has not quite gone to plan. In their last two World Cups, Spain were knocked out at the Round of 16 stage, most recently by Morocco, and prior to that Russia. Prior to that, they didn’t even get out of the group stages, and the pressure is on to achieve better results. They made very easy work of their qualification campaign, winning every game up to the final fixture when they had already qualified. One thing is for sure, they will not want to go to a penalty shootout - they have lost 4 of their last 5 penalty shootouts in the World Cup, as well as the final of the UEFA Nations League against rivals Portugal.
