World Cup Prediction Today: Spain vs. Belgium Quarterfinal

Spain Over 1.5 Goals (-152)

It feels like Spain is flying under the radar a bit. They haven’t been as high flying in attack as France has or played in as wild of matches as Argentina has. But they’ve quietly grown in the tourney after a shock 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their opener, and I like them to score at least twice today.

If Spain has made headlines, it’s been due to their defense, which has been amazing, allowing a World Cup-best 0.32 expected goals (xG) per 90 minutes. Don’t sleep on their attack, though.

Spain netted three goals versus Austria in the Round of 32 and then bested Portugal 1-0 in the Round of 16. That Portugal test is likely a stiffer one than what they’ll get from Belgium, and despite scoring only once, Spain mustered 1.98 xG against Portugal.

Belgium battered the US 4-1 last time out. But prior to that game, they hadn’t impressed much in this tourney. The Belgians haven’t been very stingy on D of late, giving up at least one goal to all of Senegal, New Zealand and the USA — teams that have nowhere near the amount of talent that Spain possesses.

Lamine Yamal is due for a breakout performance, and Nico Williams might be fit enough to come off the bench today. In my eyes, everything comes up Spain, and I like them to score at least two times this afternoon.

World Cup FAQ

What are three-way odds in soccer?

Unlike traditional moneyline betting in American sports, soccer uses three-way odds. You're betting on one of three outcomes: Home Team win, Away Team Win or a Draw. This is the fundamental difference from NFL or NBA lines. The draw exists because soccer matches can end in ties. Three-way odds account for this possibility.
