Spain
WDWWWW 📈
Spain are hoping to win again following the 0-1 WC success versus Portugal.
In that game, Spain had 55% possession and 15 shots at goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Spain was Merino (91'). At the other end, Portugal got 10 shots on goal with 2 on target.
A recurring aspect of recent Spain games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their prior six matches leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've lost.
Belgium
WDDWWW 📈
Belgium will go into the clash following on from a 1-4 WC win against United States in their most recent outing.
In that match, Belgium managed 44% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 7 on target. For Belgium, the goals were scored by Charles De Ketelaere (9', 33'), Hans Vanaken (57') and Romelu Lukaku (93'). United States had 7 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Malik Tillman (31') scored for United States.
An offensively clinical Belgium have racked up an avalanche of goals over their previous six games (18 to be exact). That translates to the outstanding mean average of 3 goals scored per game for this time. We shall soon see whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Spain should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
However, Belgium are also probably going to find it difficult to break down their defence - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.
We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 winning score for Spain when the full-time whistle blows.
