Spain vs Saudi Arabia Preview
Spain square off against Saudi Arabia in this FIFA World Cup Group H clash at Atlanta Stadium (Mercedes-Benz Stadium), with kick-off set for 12:00 on Sunday 21 June.
Atlanta Stadium is a climate-controlled indoor venue. While cloudy skies and temperatures of around 30°C (86°F) are expected outdoors, the temperature inside the stadium will be maintained at a comfortable 22°C (72°F).
Spain played out a 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their opening World Cup fixture at Atlanta Stadium. La Roja enjoyed 74% possession and registered seven shots on target but failed to find the net.
Saudi Arabia opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Miami Stadium. Georgios Donis' side recorded just 33% possession and three shots on target, with Abdulelah Al Amri on the scoresheet.
History Favours Spain

Main Match Prediction
We expect a strong response from Spain after their frustrating draw with Cape Verde. La Roja will be eager to make a statement here and Saudi Arabia could find themselves on the receiving end.
La Roja scored 19 goals during qualifying and won four of their six qualifiers by at least three goals. With Lamine Yamal available to start once again, we're backing Spain -2.5 at odds of -109 and expect them to win by three goals or more.
