Spain will take on hosts Russia in a mouthwatering clash of round of 16. The match will start at 7:30 PM and the line-ups are out.
Spain have fielded an unexpected line-up with Andres Iniesta left on the bench. Dani Carvajal has also been dropped as Nacho is preferred ahead of him. Diego Costa starts as the lone striker with Isco and David Silva playing behind him.
Unlike Spain, Russia have fielded an expected 11 with all their regulars like Golovin and Dzyuba starting. They have just one unexpected change as their top-scorer Cheryshev is left on the bench.
