Spaniards desperate for victory

Despite the defensive blunders that handed victory to Nigeria, it is in attack that Spanish coach Javier Clemente is set to make changes.

One possibility is to bring in Real Madrid8217;s robust young striker Francisco Morientes, who has scored four goals in his two appearances for the national side.

Guillermo Amor could be drafted in to link with Hierro and add punch to the centre of mid-field but veteran goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta seems certain to start despite his gaffe which handed Nigeria their second goal.

Defenders Rafael Alkorta and Miguel Angel Nadal have recovered from minor injuries picked upagainst Nigeria and should be fit to play against Paraguay who drew 0-0 with Bulgaria in their opening game.

The South Americans are concerned about their continued inability to score 8212; against Bulgaria their most dangerous moment came from a free kick by goalkeeper Jose Luis Chilavert which was finger tipped to safety.
