Spain and Liechtenstein will kick-off their 2018 World Cup qualifying game at Estadio Reino de Leon on 5th of September.

Lopetegui will be in charge of his first competitive game as Spanish coach, as he is aiming for a positive start. The Spanish side were strong against Belgium in their warm up game on Thursday. A brace form David Silva in the 34th and 62nd minute was enough to sink the Belgium side in their own backyard. However, Spain will be looking for an automatic qualification as they aim to go back to top of World football.

Low rated Liechtenstein are among the underdogs in this campaign, they have little or no chance of qualifying. Having gone win-less in their last 21 qualifying games, they are always on the receiving end. Liechtenstein were thrashed on the road at Denmark on Thursday, as Denmark scored 5 goals without reply. They have a hard task at hand as they travel to play against a rebuilding Spanish side.
