Round of 16 World Cup matches don’t come much bigger than this. It’s the hosts Russia, against former champions and one of the Russia 2018 favorites Spain. Your chance to live stream the Spain vs Russia match for free has arrived and we’ll tell you how to watch every minute of the hopefully-thrilling encounter regardless of where you are in the world.
Group B winners Spain will face Group A runners-up and host nation Russia. The Russian side – ranked the lowest from all the teams at the World Cup – have exceeded all expectations to get this far.
Spain also faced a challenge with a tough group following that incredible 3-3 draw against Portugal in the opening game and another draw against Morocco in the final clash. Russia smashed Saudi Arabia 5-0 and beat Egypt 3-1. So expect a high scoring game, potentially.
