What to expect from Spain
Spain face a match that could decide the top spot in the group. Quick ball circulation and the ability to dominate matches from possession will remain the main weapons of Luis de la Fuente's side.
Watch out for: Pedri's tempo of circulation and Spain's clean build-up through midfield. If Spain break the first line, the match tilts quickly.
What to expect from Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia have established themselves as a competitive, organised side, capable of resisting defensively and exploiting space on the counter-attack. Their international growth has been notable in recent major tournaments.
Watch out for: Saudi defensive shape. If they last the opening half hour without conceding, they can drag the match into a very uncomfortable scenario for Spain.
The stadium: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Mercedes-Benz Stadium is considered one of the most technologically advanced sports venues in the world. Its futuristic design and Atlanta's experience hosting major events make this one of the championship's most striking venues.
