Spain are in pole position when it comes to qualifying for next summer’s World Cup from Group E, which they lead on nine points thanks to wins in all three of their games so far.

Luis de la Fuente’s side have scored 11 goals in those three games, and have yet to concede, so progress has been serene, and that’s not expected to change against Bulgaria, who are bottom of the group, conceding 12 and scoring just once.
