Group B

Kick off 19:00
Live on BBC One

At Mordovia Arena

Permutations

• A point for Spain against Morocco would see them qualify.
• If the Spanish lose they will go through if Portugal beat Iran or suffer a heavier defeat against Iran, or if that match is a low-scoring draw and Spain lose by no more than one goal.
• Portugal will qualify with a draw against Iran.
• If both Portugal and Spain suffer defeats then team with the bigger loss would be eliminated. If they both win then the team with the biggest win will finish top of Group B.
• The top two teams currently have the same number of points, goal difference and goals scored - they are separated by Fair Play records (Spain have one yellow card and Portugal have picked up two).
• If all these elements are equal then there will be a drawing of lots to decide their final group positions.
• Iran will qualify with victory over Portugal - they would win the group unless Spain also won.
