Portugal
WWDWDW 📈
Portugal, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 2-1 WC success against Croatia.
In that match, Portugal managed 61% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 3 on target. For Portugal, the goalscorers were Ronaldo (68') and Ramos (94'). For their opponents, Croatia had 13 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Ivan Perišić (53') scored for Croatia.
Their latest results show that quality has been evident in the Portugal backline. Portugal have been miserly, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous 6 outings standing at 4.
Spain
DWDWWW 📈
Spain go into this encounter after a 3-0 WC win with the eclipse of Austria in their most recent game.
In that game, Spain managed 65% possession and 23 shots on goal with 10 on target. For Spain, the goalscorers were Oyarzabal (36', 89') and Porro (66'). On the other side, Austria had 5 attempts on goal with 0 on target.
A sequence of hard-working performances by the Spain defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 2 from their past 6 clashes in total. In that time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 12. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, of course.
👥
Head to head
There have been a high number of draws between the two sides. In their head to head clashes starting from 15/06/2018, the records show 5 of them. That’s a very high 83% of games being drawn.
In all, 13 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 6 for A Selecção and 7 created by La Furia Roja. That is an average goals per game value of 2.17.
🔮
Prediction
Our assessment here is that Portugal will need things to go their way to score against this Spain outfit who will likely score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re therefore anticipating a 0-1 winning margin for Spain after 90 minutes.
Let’s see how it plays out.
