Spain will be looking to get revenge on England for their earlier group defeat as they meet again in Women's World Cup qualification at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on Friday night.
The Lionesses won 1-0 on home soil in April, meaning they currently top the qualification group ahead of La Roja.
However, with home advantage now on their side, Spain will be looking for a victory that could put them back in control of the group heading into the final round of fixtures.

Spain are the reigning world champions, incidentally beating England in the 2023 World Cup final.
Should they qualify from the group as expected, La Roja will be one of if not the favourite to retain their crown as the number-one ranked nation in women's football.
Their biggest competitors to top the group were always going to be England, and after defeat in the reverse fixture, they will be desperate to win this one and put them level on points with the Lionesses heading into the final group fixture.
Sonia Bermudez will be leaning on an experienced core of players to get the job done, with as many as 11 in the squad having recently won the UEFA Women's Champions League final 4-0 with Barcelona against Lyon.
Sarina Wiegman continues to lead England, and her next aim will be to try and lead the Lionesses to World Cup glory having already won back-to-back European Championships with them.
She boasts a commendable record against Spain as England boss, having won three of the last four meetings with them in all competitions (L1).
Although there have been some fairly recent withdrawals and retirements from the experienced core of past England squads, others like Lucy Bronze and Alex Greenwood still remain.
The Lionesses are also boosted by the return of Ella Toone after a long-term injury, although Taylor Hinds has since had to withdraw.

Whispers predicts: Spain Women 1-1 England Women
Spain are 3/5 (1.60) favourites to win, but given England's flawless form and recent H2H record, we are backing them to get a positive result.
Thus, the Draw at 3/1 (4.00) appeals to us as an opening bet, while BTTS – Yes at 4/5 (1.80) also seems likely as both nations have been free-scoring in the group so far.
Our final pick is Under 2.5 goals at 1/1 (2.00), with both nations also demonstrating strong defences in the group.
Overall, we are predicting a 1-1 draw, which can be backed at 7/1 (8.00).
> BTTS – Yes at 4/5 (1.80) | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 2.5 goals at 1/1 (2.00) | Likelihood: Probable
> Draw at 3/1 (4.00) | Likelihood: Outsider
