Match Analysis

Spain

Spain have been Spain throughout this tournament — controlled, possession-dominant, technically demanding. Their 1–0 win over Portugal was hard-fought and showed their ability to grind results in high-stakes knockout matches. Against Belgium’s press, they’ll need to be more vertical and direct than usual — Belgium’s midfield energy can disrupt Spain’s build-up if given space to press. Spain’s defensive structure, however, remains one of the best in the tournament.

Belgium

Belgium’s 4–1 win over the USA was the performance of the knockout rounds so far. Their attacking quality across the forward line, combined with a high press that left the USA’s defence looking exposed, suggests a team at peak confidence. Against Spain’s more organised setup they’ll face a different challenge, but Belgium have the individual quality and tactical flexibility to score against almost any opponent. At 5.52–5.70, Belgium represent significant value.
