World Cup 2010 Feature Coverage

While Spain have traditionally defeated Chile in international play, Chile is in the driver's seat as Group H leader with no goals against. As long as Chile draws, they will advance to the round of 16. Meanwhile, a victory would push Spain into the next phase of the tournament, but they'll want to win by more than one goal, just to be sure they're far enough ahead of Switzerland.

It's no joke: Spain may well not advance, in what's becoming a favorites' graveyard.

Players to watch
David Villa v Claudio Bravo

The Spanish striker hit both his side’s goals against Los Catrachos, and could have had a hat-trick had he not hit the woodwork and also shot wide from the penalty spot. On top of his game against the central Americans, El Guaje will be looking to add to his tournament goal tally at the Loftus Versfeld, although to do that he will need to find a way past Claudio Bravo in the Chile goal.

The Real Sociedad custodian has yet to be beaten in South Africa and is in buoyant mood after his club colleagues regained their place in the Spanish top flight, where next season he will come up against Villa, who signed for Barcelona before the world finals began.
