One of the teams most experts point out as candidates to take the Euro 2016 trophy back home is Spain, and La Roja will start getting ready to win the tournament for the third time in a row facing Bosnia and Herzegovina in a friendly match this Sunday.
Before the tournament begins, coach Vicente del Bosque will want to sort a few doubts out in his starting lineup. Injuries and some unsatisfying performances forced the seasoned coach to leave some of his top guns back home, with a bunch of newcomers such as Alvaro Morata and Marc Bartra fighting for a spot in La Roja's Starting XI.
On the other hand, Bosnia's coach Mehmed Bazdarevic will try to keep his team in shape for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, after being eliminated from the continental tournament. The team's top performers such as Edin Dzeko, Asmir Begovic o Miralem Pjanic will all be available for this match, hoping to get an ego-boosting win.
