Spain were held to a shock 0-0 draw by Cape Verde in their Group H opener
Saudi Arabia held Uruguay to a 1-1 draw
Recommended bet: Lamine Yamal to score at least two goals
Spain's 0-0 draw against Cape Verde is arguably the biggest shock of the World Cup so far and La Roja go in search of a quick response when they face Saudi Arabia at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday.
A combination of poor finishing and some excellent saves from Vozinha ensured the reigning European champions started off the tournament in disappointing fashion.
However, they will have their backs up now and that spells bad news for a Saudi Arabia side who were fortunate to snatch a point against Uruguay.

Team news
Lamine Yamal came off the bench in the second half against Cape Verde and he is expected to be recalled to the starting XI, along with fellow forward Nico Williams.
Ferran Torres and Gavi are the likely pair to drop out after failing to impress in the opener. Victor Munoz could miss out because of a hamstring issue.
Saudi Arabia are set to stick with the same XI from the draw against Uruguay, with goalscorer Abdulelah Al Amri forming part of the defence once again.
The stats
Spain's draw against Cape Verde extended their unbeaten streak to 11 matches and La Roja have failed to score in just two of their last 20 games.
Saudi Arabia have drawn their last two fixtures, against Senegal and Uruguay.
The Green Falcons have kept just one clean sheet in 20 World Cup matches – back in 1994.

Prediction
Spain will have got a rocket from head coach Luis de la Fuente after the poor display against Cape Verde, as they failed to make the most of their 74% possession and 27 attempts, of which seven ended up on target.
Changes are expected to the starting XI, specifically in attack, with Barcelona forward Yamal set to come back having fully recovered from a hamstring injury suffered back in April.
The 18-year-old, who scored 24 goals for the Catalans in the 2025-26 season, made a 19-minute cameo against the Blue Sharks in the opening draw and managed to get two shots away.
Yamal will be chomping at the bit to make his mark at the World Cup and he looks capable of netting at least twice against a Saudi Arabia side who were fortunate to draw with Uruguay.
The Green Falcons conceded 27 shots, with 10 of those on target, and they could be in for a long evening if they give up the same amount of scoring opportunities against Spain.
Score prediction: Spain 3-0 Saudi Arabia
