Pre-match:
Spain manager Luis Enrique, who played in three editions of this competition for La Roja, has been criticised for his exclusion of senior players ahead of the tournament, but stated "How can I doubt myself? I am the best coach on earth" with 20 of Spain’s 26-player squad now making their first appearance at a World Cup.
Luis Fernando Suárez’s Costa Rica side are no pushovers but the strength of a group that also contains Germany and Japan, means Los Ticos were given just a 9.8% chance of progression - the lowest of any side pre-tournament according to Opta. Yet despite that this is their record third-consecutive competition appearance, and Suárez will be looking to replicate Costa Rica’s impressive run to the quarter finals in 2014, when they topped a group containing former world champions England, Italy and Uruguay.
Spain starting XI: Unai Simon - Cesar Azpilicueta, Rodri, Aymeric Laporte, Jordi Alba - Gavi, Sergio Busquets, Pedri - Ferran Torres, Marco Asensio, Dani Olmo
