Spain will be aiming to finally throw away their underdogs status and pick up their first major trophy since Euro 1964 and will know that a victory is imperative against the Russians this coming Tuesday at Innsbruck in Austria, our coverage starting from 15:00 GMT.

Spain have been impressive in all their warm up games but that will account for nothing when they come up against a resurgent Russian outfit. On paper, Spain posses one of the strongest outfits in European and maybe World football with a wealth of attacking riches all over the field. Spain will have to choose from the likes of David Guiza, Fernando Torres and David Villa upfront and Coach Luis Aragones will have a tough job indeed picking up a selection from three extremely potent strikers. The midfield is no joke indeed with numerous options to pick from such as Xavi and Iniesta of Barcelona and Xabi Alonso of Liverpool. However, the absence of Cesc Fabregas may just prove to be Spain’s undoing when they midfield comes up against rugged defences. With Puyol and Ramos in the defence, expect Iker Casillas to have far lesser work against the Russians as compared to his work load at Real Madrid when Spain come up against Russia in the first encounter of Group D.

Like Spain, Russian football is on a high with the likes of St. Petersburg winning the UEFA Cup in style. Russia come into the Euro 2008 qualifiers on the back of smashing performances against England and Croatia and in Guus Hiddink, they have one of the most astute coaches out there in World football. Russia have never been to knock out stages of a major competition and in a season in which they have achieved so much, they will be aiming to cap it up with a fine round of performances in the Euro 2008 finals. The major stars to look out for when Russia take the field against Spain would be the likes of Pogrebnyak and Arshavin both of whom have had smashing domestic seasons at home.
