The Lionesses kick-started their Euro 2017 campaign with an emphatic 6-0 win over rivals Scotland on Wednesday.
The thumping victory underlined their status as one of the tournament favourites alongside Germany and France.
But facing Spain will be a far greater test for Mark Sampson’s side.
And 23-year-old Parris is expecting La Roja to put up a fight.
“Spain won 2-0 in their group game and they will want to come top of the group, so we expect them to come out fighting,” said Parris.
“I reckon it will be a very counter-attacking game, and both teams will attack, attack and attack. Once we clarify our game plan, we will focus entirely on them.
“Everyone in the team wants to start, and you have to perform at the end of the day. Hopefully we can all play our part, whether we are starting or being in the stands.
“We have got to be patient and wait for our opportunity. It is a long road to the final and there will be many more moments to come.”
