What to expect from Spain
Spain arrive at the tournament with one of the most talented young generations in European football. Lamine Yamal's ability to break defences, Pedri's control and the team's overall ball dominance remain the defining traits of a side that aims to challenge for the title.
Watch out for: Spain's quick ball circulation and Lamine Yamal's ability to break lines down the right. If Spain control possession from the start, Cape Verde are forced to defend deep for ninety minutes.
What to expect from Cape Verde
Cape Verde play the first World Cup in their history and represent one of the great stories of the championship. The African side stand out for defensive discipline, physical strength and the ability to compete in high-tempo matches.
Watch out for: Cape Verde's defensive discipline in the middle block. If they get through the first 30 minutes without conceding, the match starts opening up for them on the counter.
The stadium: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the most modern sports venues in the world. It usually hosts NFL and MLS games and is famous for its retractable roof and the huge circular display screen inside. It normally uses an artificial pitch, but natural grass will be installed for the World Cup.
