To suggest that Spain were underwhelming in their tournament opener against Cape Verde last time out would be an understatement, with Luis de la Fuente's side struggling to get going, and they were ultimately made to settle for a point in a goalless draw.
As a result, there is pressure on one of the pre-tournament favourites to pick up all three points on Sunday, and Spain know that taking four points from their next two matches would secure a spot in the round of 32 as group winners or runners-up.
