Spain vs Russia Match Preview 

Fernando Hierro's Spain has in no way, shape or form inspired in transit to the round of 16 hinting at colossal helplessness at the back despite having any semblance of Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique as focus backs. 

The previous Real Madrid safeguard should drive a genuine turnaround as La Furia Roja could well face a stunning way out this right off the bat in the battle without a diversion play change. 

Russia excited the nearby fans with radiant assaulting exhibitions in the drubbing of both Saudi Arabia and Egypt, however their fantasies of a profound keep running on home soil endured a genuine blow on Monday when 10-man Sbornaya fell 3-0 to Uruguay to complete sprinters up in Group A. 

Stanislav Cherchesov offered rest to his primary maker in the assaulting midfield, Aleksandr Golovin, in the conflict with La Celeste. His nonappearance was exceedingly remarkable against Uruguay, yet will he have the capacity to have an effect against one of the primary contenders for the crown in such a critical undertaking here? 

Russia will be compelled to protect and that is something they've not done well against Uruguay who stowed three goals past Igor Akinfeev (turned out to be extremely inclined to botches there) on the last day.

This one has prospects of delivering a high-scoring spine chiller. Spain head into it as large top picks to win, yet their protective line has been definitely not solid all through the competition permitting the aggregate of five goals in the gathering with Portugal, Iran and Morocco. 

Russia demonstrated the assaulting quality netting eight goals in opening two challenges and they've scored three goals past Spain in their ongoing well disposed in November a year ago.
