Spain vs Belgium Recent Results
Spain enter this fixture on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Portugal in their last outing, courtesy of a late winning goal. The home side has enjoyed an incredibly strong run of form during this tournament, having secured four victories and a draw in their five World Cup matches so far, which includes a dominant 3-0 win over Austria and a 4-0 thrashing of Saudi Arabia.
Belgium, on the other hand, enjoyed an incredibly comfortable win in their previous round, dismantling the USA 4-1 in Seattle. While the visitors have put together a strong run of results, their defensive resolve has been questioned; they have now conceded in three consecutive matches while winning, though they have compensated with a devastating attacking return of 12 goals during that period.

Spain vs Belgium Probable Lineups
Spain (4-2-3-1): Simón; Porro, Cubarsí, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Baena; Oyarzabal
Belgium (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Castagne, Mechele, Ngoy, Cuyper; Tielemans, Vanaken; Doku, Bruyne, Trossard; Ketelaere
The tactical battle will likely be won and lost in the engine room. Spain's midfield double-pivot of Rodri and Pedri will aim to control the tempo of the game, leveraging their superior passing accuracy of 90.47% and average possession of 65.69% to starve the Belgian attackers of the ball. Belgium will rely on the creative genius of De Bruyne to spark counter-attacks, utilizing the explosive pace of Doku and Trossard out wide to test Spain's defensive line, which has yet to concede a single goal in this tournament.
Spain vs Belgium Team News
Spain could have a fully fit squad to choose from for this monumental clash. Nico Williams has been suffering from a minor injury, but the dynamic winger is expected to be fit and ready to play a part if called upon.
In contrast, Belgium have some significant selection headaches to address. Amadou Onana is a confirmed absentee and will miss the remainder of the tournament after suffering a devastating anterior cruciate ligament injury. Additionally, the visitors will have to make a late fitness call on Sporting defender Zeno Debast, who remains unfit to start.
Spain vs Belgium Match Facts
- Spain have won their last 6 matches against Belgium in all competitions.
- Spain have scored at least 2 goals in their last 6 matches against Belgium in all competitions.
Prediction: Spain 2-0 Belgium
While Belgium possess a highly potent attack that has registered 21.4 shots per game in the tournament, they face a Spanish defensive unit that has been absolutely impenetrable. Spain are still yet to concede a single goal at this World Cup, making them the only side in the tournament to boast such a record. Backed by their dominant possession style and historical superiority over the visitors, Spain are predicted to choke out the Belgian attack and secure a comfortable 2-0 victory to march into the semi-finals.

Given that Spain have kept a clean sheet in every single match of this tournament so far, and Belgium have shown defensive vulnerabilities by conceding in each of their last three matches, backing the home side to win without conceding offers immense value. Spain's defensive organisation should prove too strong for a Belgian side missing the physical presence of Onana in midfield.
