The Australian men's water polo team will be looking to rebound from their round three loss when they line up against Spain on Saturday.
A fierce Spanish outfit come into the match undefeated, while the Aussie Sharks will be looking to secure their second win.
It’s been a mixed bag for the Aussie Sharks in their opening matches, with an impressive win over Croatia but some hard losses against reigning Olympic champions Serbia and an in-form Montenegro side.
Four time Olympian Richie Campbell knows the Aussie Sharks will need to be at their best to match it with the Spaniards.
“They are a fast counter attacking team…. they are very crafty. They are a team known for jumping on your mistakes.
“If we are smart in our attack, with really good defence and not turning the ball over, I think we should match up well with them,” said Campbell.
The Aussie Sharks will take on Spain on Saturday 31 July at 12:30pm AEST and you can watch live on 7plus.
