Spain v Morocco - Preview and possible line-ups

What is at stake: Morocco have already been eliminated so are playing for pride but Spain need to get a result to ensure their qualification to the Round of 16.

Spain: Dani Carvajal played the full 90 minutes against Iran and is expected to retain his position at right-back ahead of Nacho. 

Lucas Vazquez also started the win over Iran but didn't offer that much and could be replaced by Thiago Alcantara.

Morocco: Nabil Dirar and Nordin Amrabat both overcame injuries to feature against Portugal last time out and should both start against 'La Roja'. 

Amine Harit will hope to regain his place in the starting line-up after he dropped to the bench during the loss to Portugal. Khalid Boutaïb and Ayoub El Kaabi are competing against one another to spearhead the attack too.

Spain coach Fernando Hierro on the opposition:

"We know they are an excellent team. They qualified for the World Cup finals after not being here for many years," he said.

"If you look at their first match they lost it in the 93rd minute with an own goal and they had clear opportunities against Iran.

"They had an excellent game against Portugal, so we're talking about a tough nut to crack that moves very fluidly up front.

"Basically, if they've qualified for a World Cup we know they are going to be tough rival. We can't afford to relax. We are aware Morocco are not going to give anything away and anything we win will be through hard work and effort. Morocco deserve our respect."

Morocco coach Herve Renard on putting up a fight:

"The most difficult thing is to play this kind of match knowing we'll have to pack up and go home and leave the competition," he said.

"But we have to be professional and, in particular, because we are playing a team for which we need to be fit from a psychological perspective. We have to force ourselves to find something to play for and play in the best way. We are going to play this last match as though we were trying to qualify.

"My job is to challenge this Spanish team, to give them difficulties and make the Moroccan people proud of us, particularly those who come to the ground tomorrow. This is my responsibility."
