Portugal and Spain will seek their first wins of the World Cup after their entertaining opening draw, while Saudi Arabia will bid to avoid further ignominy.

Here, Press Association Sport ponders what to look out for on Wednesday:

Iran v Spain

Only one of these nations can qualify with a win and it is not the 2010 world champions. Spain showed enough in the Iberian derby to prove they have swiftly moved on from the departure of head coach Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the tournament. Now the star-studded side will be eager for a first victory. Iran’s first World Cup finals win in 20 years boosted confidence, but boss Carlos Queiroz lost Roozbeh Cheshmi to injury in what could be a significant blow.
