Match: Spain VS Morocco
Stadium: Kaliningrad Stadium, Kaliningrad
Date: Monday June 25
Time: 7pm WAT
Head to Head: These teams have met twice with Spain winning on both occasions.
With qualification on the line for Spain who would need Portugal to win should they fall to the Atlas Lions, Hierro would put his best men to the task. Morocco find themselves out already following successive losses to Iran and Portugal.
How is Spain shaping up?
Following a hard fought victory over the Iranians, Spain look likely to qualify from this group needing just a point from this game. Hierro might look to start Madrid wonder kid Asensio to spark more creativity in carving out goal scoring chances.
Danger man - Diego Costa; The bullish striker has found the net 3 times already and would be a difficult for Benatia and Co to keep away
How is Morocco shaping up?
If you were looking for a team to define unlucky, Morocco would be your best bet. Falling to a last minute own goal in their opener and failing to get past Patricio despite having more opportunities, they find themselves on the way home with only pride to play for.
Danger man: Nordin Amrabat, despite suffering a concussion in the opener against Iran, the winger had the beating of Raphael Guerreiro in the build up to most of their chances. He'll be a danger to the Spanish defence if left unchecked.
