Spain boss Enrique may decide to name an unchanged starting lineup on Sunday following their thumping win over Costa Rica, with attacking trio Torres, Asensio and Olmo all in line to retain their places in a fluid front three.
Eighteen-year-old starlet Gavi, who made World Cup history with his goal on Wednesday, is expected to start again alongside fellow Barcelona midfielders Pedri and Sergio Busquets.
Aymeric Laporte was surprisingly joined at centre-back by Manchester City teammate Rodri, who may keep his place at the heart of the defence ahead of Pau Torres and Eric Garcia.
After replacing the injured Jose Gaya in Enrique's 26-man squad, Alejandro Balde came off the bench to make his senior international debut against Costa Rica, but the 19-year-old is set to begin on the bench once again on Sunday, with Jordi Alba poised to start at left-back.
Spain possible starting lineup:
Simon; Azpilicueta, Rodri, Laporte, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, Gavi; F. Torres, Asensio, Olmo
Germany
As for Germany, Leroy Sane missed the defeat against Japan due to a knee injury and the Bayern Munich winger remains doubtful for Sunday's game, despite returning to training in the last few days.
Flick is unlikely to make too many changes, if any, to his starting lineup, with a back four of Niklas Sule, Antonio Rudiger, Nico Schlotterbeck and David Raum set to remain intact, protecting captain Manuel Neuer between the sticks.
Gundogan will hope to keep his place in centre-midfield alongside Joshua Kimmich, with the Man City man looking become the first player since Miroslav Klose in 2002 to score in both of Germany's first two matches at a World Cup.
Kai Havertz struggled in the final third last time out and his position up front could come under threat from Karim Adeyemi, Niclas Fullkrug and Youssoufa Moukoko.
Germany possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Sule, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck, Raum; Kimmich, Gundogan; Gnabry, Muller, Musiala; Havertz
Prediction:Spain 2-0 Germany
