La Roja Boss Del Bosque believe to make certain change over the squad that play against Holland. The Spanish Captain and Real Madrid Legend Iker Casillas performance in the first match was poor but Del Bosque may not change this world class keeper with Pepe Reina or the Manchester United David De Gea. Although, having Casillas performance was poor but he is quite comfortable with some fantastic save from that match. And Del Bosque cant think about changing the most experience player from the squad.
Spanish defenders was humiliated by the Dutch in the opening match from Group A. Real Madrid center back Sergio Ramos and Barcelona center back Pique coordination was poor so Del Bosque may have the option to switch Javi Martinez over Pique in the center defense. In the midfield, Juan Mata may over take the Manchester City star David Silva place whereas Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets Barcelona may handle the remaining option with the defending midfield from Real Madrid and the only scorer from Spain Xavi Alonso.
In the front line, Chelsea Striker Fernando Torres and Former A Madrid Striker David Villa may over take the place of Brazil born Diego Costa. Likewise, in the South America team, Barcelona Striker Sanchez (the hero behind the last 6 goals Chile scored in all competition) and Vargas handle the Chile attack, with Vidal in the central half.

Spain have beaten Chile in last two WC games in World Cup:1950 Brazil in the same stadium where they are playing this match today (2-0) and in 2010 in South Africa (2-1).
Chile lost their competition with the defending champions in two world cup games both against Brazil (in 1962 and 1998 France). In the opening games of 2014 WC, Spain conceded 5+ goals in an international for the first time since losing 6-2 to Scotland in June 1963. Spain lost their opening game of the 2010 World Cup finals (0-1 v Switzerland) but became the first team to ever lift the World Cup trophy after having lost their opening game of the tournament.
