Preview: Luxembourg vs. Spain

Spain will try to rectify Thursday night's defeat to Slovakia with a trip to Luxembourg on Sunday in their third Euro 2016 qualifier in Group C.

Both nations will head into the contest on the back of late defeats, with Luxembourg having succumbed to a 3-2 loss at the hands of Macedonia last night.

Spain were stunned by Slovakia, who also left it late to grab a 2-1 victory on home turf with a Miroslav Stoch winner, which inflicted a first qualifying loss on Spain in eight years.

Despite Vicente del Bosque's side suffering defeat, they began their qualifying campaign in emphatic fashion with a 5-1 triumph over Macedonia last month, while Luxembourg are yet to win following their opening-round 1-1 draw with Belarus.

Spain failed to continue their winning run, but La Roja played relatively well in Zilina, which means that changes are likely to be minimal for Sunday's encounter.

One question that has arisen concerns goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who currently has David de Gea knocking on the door, and the Manchester United stopper may enter the fold following the Real Madrid stopper's shaky performance against Slovakia.
