LIVE: Spain vs Poland

LIVE: Spain vs Poland

This will be the first meeting between Spain and Poland at a major tournament. Spain have won eight of their 10 matches against Poland (D1 L1), with the sole Polish victory taking place over 40 years ago (November 1980), in a friendly played in Barcelona (2-1).

Poland have made three changes to their side from their defeat to Slovakia. Krychowiak serves his suspension, while Rybus and the goalscorer in their loss Linetty also make way from the line-up. Moder, Puchacz and Swiderski come into the team to replace the trio.

Enrique has made only one change to his side from La Roja's draw against Sweden. Gerard comes into the starting line-up in the final third to replace Ferran Torres, who drops to the bench. The Spain boss keeps faith with Morata through the middle of the attack along with Olmo on the left flank. Pedri also retains his spot in the side ahead of Thiago.

POLAND SUBS: Pawel Dawidowicz, Tomasz Kedziora, Kacper Kozlowski, Karol Linetty, Lukasz Skorupski, Maciej Rybus, Przemyslaw Placheta, Przemyslaw Frankowski, Lukasz Fabianski, Dawid Kownacki, Jakub Swierczok, Michal Helik.

POLAND (3-4-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Bartosz Bereszynski, Kamil Glik, Jan Bednarek; Kamil Jozwiak,  Mateusz Klich, Jakub Moder, Tymoteusz Puchacz; Karol Swiderski, Robert Lewandowski, Piotr Zielinski.

SPAIN SUBS: David de Gea, Cesar Azpilicueta, Diego Llorente, Thiago Alcantara, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, Robert Sanchez, Jose Gaya, Fabian Ruiz, Adama Traore, Mikel Oyarzabal, Pablo Sarabia.

SPAIN (4-3-3) Unai Simon; Marcos Llorente, Aymeric Laporte, Pau Torres, Jordi Alba; Koke, Rodri, Pedri; Gerard Moreno, Alvaro Morata, Dani Olmo.

Poland were underwhelming in their opening match of the Euros and were beaten by Slovakia courtesy of a second-half goal from Milan Skriniar. Robert Lewandowski barely had a kick, although he and his team-mates were not aided by Grzegorz Krychowiak's dismissal, which allowed Slovakia to take control of the contest. Paulo Sousa and his men have to produce a positive result tonight otherwise their last-16 hopes will be slim to say the least.

Spain were frustrated in their opening match of the tournament against Sweden after being held to a goalless draw in Seville. La Roja were predictable at times in their approach and lacked a clinical edge. Gerard Moreno almost made an impact off the bench, although he saw a late header saved by Robin Olsen. Sweden's win over Slovakia yesterday has put Luis Enrique and his men under pressure. A response is required to build momentum in their campaign.
