Jordan in form
The home side come into this game on a five game winning streak, not conceding a goal across those matches.
Last month they defeated Oman, who pushed Germany to the very last minute yesterday.
And in January they saw off New Zealand 3-1.
So, despite being favourites, Spain might not have it all their own way today.
It’s a full house
The fans are right up for this one.
Kick-off is in one hour.
