Iran vs. Spain serves as the nightcap of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, as the two nations take the pitch at Report Kazan Arena in Group B play. Iran holds a surprising lead in the group and would take a big step towards making a stunning advancement to the knockout stage of the tournament by coming away with a positive result against a much more talented Spain roster. La Furia Roja, meanwhile, needs to avoid a lazy outing after securing just one point in their first game of the World Cup against Portugal.
