La Roja's current line-up is expected to remain unchanged, with Arnau Tenas starting in goal. The attack will be led by Abel Ruiz, supported by Fermin Lopez and Sergio Gomez. Promising young striker Samu Omorodion, who impressed at Alaves last season, is also capable of making a difference off the bench.
