Spain are expected to challenge for more international honours in Russia this summer by the bookmakers.
Julen Lopetegui was able to leave out the likes of Alvaro Morata, Ander Herrera and Hector Bellerin as plenty of Premier League stars were overlooked in the final 23-man squad.
Group B also contains Poirgual, with the prospect of an all-Iberian clash arguably the most enticing clash of the first round of matches.
2018 World Cup Qualification
Imperious in qualification, Spain dropped just two points from a possible 30 in a group that included Italy and Albania.
GettyPerhaps as impressive as their tally of 36 goals - which was no doubt aided by two matches against Liechtemstein - was the three goals conceded during the campaign.
Those 36 strikes were well spread throughout the squad though with Isco and Diego Costa both tied for leading scorer on five strikes each.
World Cup History
The 2010 World Cup winners crashed out in the group stage four years ago in Brazil. That brought to an end a period of international dominance that also included back-to-back European Championships.
The latest odds suggest that there's a fair chance that Spain will be one of the main contenders this summer.
