Team news
Spain:
Spain head into their World Cup opener with an almost fully fit squad, although Luis de la Fuente is expected to manage the minutes of several returning stars. Lamine Yamal has recovered from injury but is not expected to start, with the teenage winger likely to be introduced from the bench. Nico Williams has also returned to training but is unlikely to be risked from the opening whistle, while Víctor Muñoz remains doubtful because of muscular overload. Ferran Torres and Álex Baena are therefore expected to support Mikel Oyarzabal in attack, with Rodri, Pedri and Fabián Ruiz forming Spain's first-choice midfield.
Predicted Spain XI (4-3-3):
Unai Simón; Pedro Porro, Pau Cubarsí, Aymeric Laporte, Marc Cucurella; Fabián Ruiz, Rodri, Pedri; Ferran Torres, Mikel Oyarzabal, Álex Baena.
Cape Verde:
Cape Verde coach Bubista has no major injury concerns ahead of the nation's historic first World Cup match. Veteran captain Ryan Mendes is expected to provide experience in attack alongside Dailon Livramento, while Villarreal defender Logan Costa will marshal the defence. Kevin Pina and Jamiro Monteiro are likely to anchor the midfield as the Blue Sharks attempt to frustrate one of the tournament favourites.
Predicted Cape Verde XI (4-2-3-1):
Vozinha; Steven Moreira, Logan Costa, Roberto Pico, Paulo; Willy Semedo, Kevin Pina; Ryan Mendes, Jamiro Monteiro, Jovane Cabral; Dailon Livramento.
