La Roja will try to overcome a number of absences on both sides of the pitch against Macedonia, a team that has never beaten them in any type of game.

Broadcast info

Who's playing? Spain hosts Macedonia in Group G's fourth World Cup Qualifying match for both teams. La Roja leads the pack with seven points, while Macedonia is yet to secure their first point of the competition.

Spain's coach Julen Lopetegui might be keen on handing some of his new talents a chance to shine, helped by some experienced players such as Aritz Aduriz. Other players such as Morata and Nolito may feature for La Roja, but this game is more suitable for Lopetegui to experiment, since some players were left out due to injury and Spain needs a little variety to face tougher matches than this one.

What time? Saturday, November 12 at 11:45 PST/ 14:45 EST/ 19:45 GMT/ 20:45 CEST.

What stadium? Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes, located in the city of Granada. The Spanish side usually travels all around the country to offer their supporters a chance to watch the games live, and the 22,000 seat stadium will serve that purpose thoroughly.

Team news

The Spanish National Team enters this game with some doubts, since some of their top performers won't be around to play this game. Sergio Ramos, Diego Costa and Andrés Iniesta will have to watch this game from the stands due to different injuries. On the bright side, Juan Mata's return to the team will provide coach Julen Lopetegui with more options in midfield, where David Silva has been in stellar form during Spain's unbeaten run in the Qualifiers.

On the other hand, Bosko Gjurovski's men will try to shock the world by earning at least one point in Spain. Their options seem to be slim, considering the skills of the Spanish side. Any hopes of success for the red-and-yellow side will be based on what Legia Warsaw's striker Ivan Trickovski can do up front.
