Innsburck (Austria) – Travel to Inssbruck
THE BIG PICTURE
Both teams won their opening games, so winner goes top and goes through. Spain were definitely the more impressive team, beating Guus Hiddink and Russia 4-1 with a hat-trick from David Villa. While Sweden saw off Greece with a moment of magic from Zlatan and a moment of madness from the Greek defence.
Three Key Players:
David Villa – hat-trick vs Russia
Carlos Puyol – defensive main-man, will have too keep an eye on Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Marco Senna – makes everyone else look good, and might have to work a bit harder today

Freddie Ljungberg – managed to get through the Greece game with a cracked rib

BIG BATTLES
Speedy strikers vs Swedish defenders Will Sweden’s backline be able to cope with the quick and quicker strikeforce of Villa and Torres?
Spain’s left side vs Sweden’s right side Sweden will likely be without their first choice right winger Christian Wilhelmsson and first choice right back Niclas Alexandersson.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic vs Spain’s defence Not that Sweden are a one man team, but if you can keep Zlatan quiet, you’re more than halfway to keeping Sweden quiet.
