Spain vs. Belgium betting preview
It's hard to lose games if you don't concede goals. Spain carries a perfect defensive record into the quarterfinals, having held each opponent to a goose egg. It's a remarkable feat, even with all the talent on the Spanish roster.
It's also all but surely not sustainable. The teams Spain have facd -- Cabo Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Austria and Portugal -- all have their own attacking problems, whether it be from a lack of proven talent or systemic dysfunction. Belgium don't have a proven striker who can play a full game, depending on how you feel about Charles De Ketelaere and the 2026 version of Romelu Lukaku.
But De Ketelaere has shown flashes of promise and Lukaku has proven to be effective in short bursts. The Belgians also have talented winger like Jeremy Doku and Leandro Trossard, along with one of the sport's best passers in midfield in Youri Tielemans. The Belgians are much more competent in attack than they get credit for, and they're not relying on a 41-year-old up top.
That being said, Spain have the talent advantage. Yamal is a sublime player even if he hasn't quite fired on all cylinders, while Mikel Oyarzabal and Dani Olmo have helped make up for Nico Williams' poor health. The Spanish attack hasn't completely gelled, but there's so much quality here.
The 4-1 thrashing of the United States showed that Belgium can play some ball, but the Americans also gifted multiple goals to their opponents. Spain is a much more buttoned-up team. This might be a tight game, but Spain should be able to advance.
Spain vs. Belgium picks, prediction
Both teams to score - Yes (-132)
Spain's goal should finally be invaded on Friday. Belgian coach Rudi Garcia seemed to finally find a working system when he pulled Doku and De Bruyne in the second half against Senegal. Belgium have scored seven goals since then. Yes, the Americans gift-wrapped some goals, but the Belgian attack seems to actually have purpose now -- and Doku can now cook against tired legs in the second half if he comes off the bench again.
Leandro Trossard to score or assist (+280)
Trossard has been an integral part of the Belgian attack and shares the team lead for goal contributions with four. This is a great number for a player with an excellent chance to be part of Belgium getting on the board.
