World Cup Predictions Today: Spain vs. Saudi Arabia

Spain First-Half Moneyline (-230)

Spain was surprisingly held to a scoreless draw by Cape Verde in its opener, while Saudi Arabia earned a valuable 1-1 draw against Uruguay. Despite those results, Spain remains the clear favorite and should view this as a great bounce-back opportunity.

Spain's attack underperformed in the opening match, but the underlying performance was still encouraging. La Roja dominated possession and territory for long stretches and racked up 2.64 expected goals.

With Spain likely needing a win to put itself back in pole position in the group, I think they'll come out with their hair on fire.

Saudi Arabia deserves credit for its result against Uruguay, but Spain presents a different challenge. I like Spain to win the first half -- even at these -230 odds.

Mikel Oyarzabal Anytime Goalscorer (-145)

Oyarzabal did next to nothing against a Cape Verde defense that packed the box with bodies. While Saudi Arabia will likely do much of the same, I think there will be one key difference this time around -- Lamine Yamal starting (and maybe Nico Williams, too).

Yamal consistently provides excellent service into the box, something Oyarzabal didn't get much of last time out.

With Yamal's crossing and dribbling ability in the starting lineup, Spain should have a much easier time breaking down the Saudis defense, which will likely lead to a few goal-scoring chances for Oyarzabal.
