Spain vs. Austria Prediction World Cup Today

Both Teams to Score -- Yes (+138)

While Spain haven't conceded a goal yet this tourney, I think Austria can give them some trouble, and backing both teams to score is my favorite way to bet today's opener.

Under manager Ralf Rangnick, Austria are typically a team that presses aggressively, and that should create an interesting dynamic in this match as Spain -- maybe more so than any national team -- is married to playing out from the back. If Austria opt to deploy a high-energy press, they may be able to nick the ball in advantageous areas a few times.

Plus, Austria have netted six goals through three matches, so they've shown good firepower going forward.

The Spain side of things should be easier. Spain are -1600 to score at least one goal, so they should be able to hold up their end of this bet. Austria to score at least one goal is -102, so we're getting this up to +138 by adding in Spain.
