Crucially, their superior goal difference means a draw in their final group game against Uruguay will be enough to secure a spot in the knockout stages. A win would guarantee advancement as group leaders without needing to rely on other results.

Spain's final group stage opponent, Uruguay, is managed by Marcelo Bielsa. Their match on June 26 in Guadalajara is anticipated to be a tightly contested affair. Depending on their final group standing, Spain could face strong opponents from Group J, which includes Argentina and Austria, in the next round.
