On paper the result appears a forgone conclusion against the minnows from Luxembourg.

Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos is out through injury and Diego Costa is suspended.

The international marks a landmark for Spain as it will become the country’s 150th Uefa European championship fixture.

In the rest of Group C Slovakia, already sure of a play-off place, entertain Belarus looking to keep their noses in front of Ukraine who take on FYR Macedonia.
