Spain - Player To Watch

Nico Williams hasn't been able to replicate his sparkling form from the Euros so far this campaign, but with Yamal out injured, La Roja will need him to find that form again.

Denmark vs Spain - Prediction

The last match between Denmark and Spain was a tight affair but the visitors on Friday should still have enough to win this one, even without Lamal.
