Spain will look to pull clear at the top of Group B with a win over Sweden when the two sides meet in the World Cup qualifiers this week.
The two sides will meet on the 14th of November at 19:45 pm BST.
Spain and Sweden are separate by just one point in their group and the hosts cannot afford to slip up here. They will be looking to build on their 1-0 win over Greece in the last game and extend their lead at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Sweden will fancy their chances of beating Spain given the way they have performed against Luis Enrique’s side in the recent meetings (two draws and a win in the last three matches). They will also look to overtake Spain and climb to the top of the standings here.
