Group stage context and team news
Spain began their World Cup campaign on June 15 with a goalless draw against Cabo Verde, failing to convert their dominance into goals. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, earned a valuable point in their opener, holding Uruguay to a 1-1 draw.
Spain's fitness concerns include Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, who is a major doubt to start after playing only 20 minutes as a substitute against Cabo Verde. However, winger Nico Williams has returned to full training. Neither side has any players definitively ruled out.
Historical head-to-head record
Spain hold a perfect record against Saudi Arabia, winning all three previous encounters. Their most recent meeting was a 5-0 friendly victory in September 2012. The sides also played a 3-2 friendly thriller in May 2010, and their only prior World Cup clash came in 2006, when Spain won 1-0.
