Progression on the line in West London
Spain take on Denmark in a very important game in Group B, with everything on the line for both sides.
The pair have beaten Finland and lost to Germany, with the Spaniards having a much stronger goal difference and for that reason a draw will be enough for them to seal progression.
La Roja do have significant players absent through injury, but they still walk into this one as overwhelming favourites, particularly following their very convincing performance in gameweek one.
The Danes were beaten 4-0 by the Germans who top the group, while Spain went toe to toe and were beaten 2-0 in the end.
Background
Defeat to Germany ended a 24-game unbeaten run for Spain, and it will be an interesting test of their character to see how they come back from it, having felt invincible for such a long period of time.
Denmark will enjoy the pressure being off of them in this scenario, even though they need to win the game to progress, the longer the score stays level, the more nerves could creep in for the favourites.
In terms of previous head-to-heads, which could have a bearing in weighing each other up before kick-off, both sides will most likely watch the friendly back that they played out in mid-June.
Spain won 3-0 on their home patch in a truly dominant display, conceding just one shot in the match and being quite wasteful in front of goal to give the scoreline a more competitive look.
The Brentford Community Stadium stages this one, a ground that Danish football supporters may be familiar with after Christian Eriksen made his comeback from a cardiac arrest with the Bees in the second half of the last Premier League campaign.
