Spain v Russia Live Stream, Time and TV Channel details: How to watch today’s Spain v Russia World Cup 2018 match for free.
On paper, only one side should win this. However, Spain have laboured through the competition so far, only managing draws against Portugal and Morocco, and narrowly beating Iran. Russia, meanwhile, have looked far stronger than many expected, no doubt emboldened by their home crowd.
La Furia Roja, despite having one of the strongest squads in the competition, are yet to really convince. They’ll be relieved to have made it past the group stages, which they were unable to do four years ago in Brazil, but their side seems to be lacking… va-va-voom, despite having the likes of Isco and David Silva in their ranks. Can Diego Costa drag them through?
The Golden Eagles, meanwhile, will be thrilled to have made it through the group stages. They’ve already exceeded most people’s expectations, and should come into this afternoon’s game full of confidence despite a 3-0 defeat to Uruguay in their last outing.
The winning team will either face Croatia or Denmark in the Quarter Finals.
Without further ado, here’s how to tune into the game.
The Spain v Russia kick-off time is 3pm BST, which is 5pm local time in Moscow, Russia, where the game is being played.
