Should these XIs hold, Spain&rsquo;s 4-2-3-1 places <strong>Rodri<\/strong> and Pedri as the double pivot, with Lamine Yamal providing width and directness on the right flank against a Saudi Arabia side set up in a 4-3-3.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Saudi Arabia will look to press high and disrupt Spain&rsquo;s build-up, with Salem Aldawsari and Nasser Aldawsari offering pace on the flanks. Spain&rsquo;s defensive shape, anchored by Pau Cubarsi and Aymeric Laporte, will be tested by Saudi counter-attacking transitions, making positional discipline central to La Roja&rsquo;s
