Overview

Great Britain have had a mixed tournament so far and come into this game placed fifth in the Group A table with four points from four games. Their last game saw them lose 1-2 to arch-rivals Australia which hurt their chances of sealing a knock-out spot.

The Three Lions are in a must win situation in the encounter against Spain if they are to have any chance of qualifying for the knock-out stage. Even a win here will not guarantee them a spot in the knock-out as they will move to seven points, with their fate depending on how New Zealand and Australia fare in their games.

Ideally, Great Britain would want both New Zealand and Australia to lose, which would help them sneak into the fourth spot in the table.

Spain, who are currently placed second in the league table, with nine points from four games, have already qualified for the knock-out stages. Even a loss here means, they will either finish second or third in the table.

The Spaniards come into this game after suffering their first loss in the tournament, beaten 3-1 by Belgium. Despite the loss, the Red Sticks will be pleased with their current situation as they were not expected to qualify for the knock-out rounds at the start of Rio 2016 Olympics.
