Match Prediction
Spain enters this clash as the favorite, aiming to build on their recent European Championship success and replicate their 2010 World Cup triumph. Despite that, Belgium's form cannot be overlooked, especially since these teams share familiarity through international and club-level encounters.
We think Spain’s blend of talent and experience will narrowly secure the win, moving them into their second-ever semifinal at the tournament.
Prediction: Spain 2, Belgium 1
Quarterfinal Betting Odds Overview
- Both teams to score (-122 at FanDuel): Spain boasts an impressive defensive record. Goalkeeper Unai Simon has not conceded a single World Cup goal in 609 minutes, maintaining five clean sheets. Still, Belgium’s offense has been explosive lately, netting 12 goals in its last three matches.
- Over 2.5 goals (-115 at DraftKings): Both sides have shown goal-scoring ability. Spain scored three against Austria and four versus Saudi Arabia, while Belgium’s recent goal surge makes a lively match likely.
- Lamine Yamal to score anytime (+150 at bet365): Spain’s defense has shone, but they’ll need attacking contributions from young talent like Yamal. Although not yet fully fit, his potential to make a decisive impact remains high based on his performances in previous tournaments.
