The final round of 16 battles has started, and it’s European favorites Spain taking on African high flyers Morocco. La Roja settled for a second-place finish in Group H. In contrast, the African counterparts finished top of their group, becoming the first team in the history of African nations to finish top of their World Cup group in the 21st century.

Morocco’s defense had been hard to break since qualification time as they continued their clean sheet record in the group stage with no goals conceded against top sides like Belgium, Croatia, and debutants Canada. On the other hand, Spain had a great start to the campaign with a 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rica and a draw against 2014 champions Germany. They eventually lost to Japan in their last match 2-1.

Yassine Bounou felt unwell due to which he couldn’t take part in the Belgium win but returned against Canada. Likewise, Nasser Mazaroui came back in the starting lineup against Belgium having previously suffered an abdominal injury in the first group stage match. The rest of the squad remains fit to participate in what could be a crucial tie for the qualification spot.

Deputy at the defense Cesar Azpilicueta is suffering from some calf issue along with second-choice keeper David Raya who missed training due to unknown reasons but Unai Simon would have had the definite nod to start between the post. Terran Torres and Jordi Alba might return to the starting lineup against Morocco in place of Nico Williams and Alejandro Balde.
