Spain supporters will hope a passionate environment revives the best in Spain, who have gained only twice in their last 5 games, including draws with Italy and Romania in March.
Group D combatants Croatia and Turkey each showed flashes of flair on Sunday, where the former gained one-zero, and Spain will know the lightweight slip in their pool could see them war to top their section.
La Furia Roja are the predominant favourites to beat the C.Republic on Monday, but picking their most obvious score threat is a difficult selection, considering their scores often come from all over the field.
