Spain aim for first win and Uruguay meet Cabo Verde

Spain seek first victory of these finals at second attempt, against Saudi Arabia

The spotlight falls on Groups G and H for the second time.

After the opening round of fixtures in Groups G and H all ended in draws, the teams will try again for their first wins of the on Matchday 11.

For European champions Spain, who start the day, that means trying to get the better of Saudi Arabia, six days after failing to break down a Cabo Verde side whose second Group H assignment is against two-time world champions Uruguay. As for Group G, Belgium meet IR Iran in the day's second fixture while later, New Zealand will take on Egypt.

With the draws between Belgium and Egypt (1-1) and IR Iran and New Zealand (2-2), none of the Group G quartet can qualify, or be eliminated, in their second round of matches. The same goes for Group H after Spain were held by Cabo Verde (0-0) and Uruguay and Saudi Arabia also shared the points from their first match.

Taking a minimum of four points from their next two games will guarantee a place in the Round of 32 for any side, as either group winners or runners-up.
