Head-to-Head

The two nations have faced each other twice at a competitive level, both times in a World Cup.

The first time came in 1986, where the pair finished the 90 mins 1-1, before it was Belgium who would prevail through a penalty shootout.

Spain would get their revenge four years later in 1990. The Spaniards were 2-1 winners over Belgium in what was a group stage game that year.

Key Stats

  • Spain have now kept six consecutive World Cup clean sheets.
  • Belgium have scored 12 goals in their last three World Cup fixtures.
  • Spain have conceded just five shots on target at this summer’s tournament, across six games.
  • Belgium’s substitutes have scored five goals at this World Cup, more than any other team.

Spain vs Belgium Picks

As they were at Euro 2024, Spain have been defensively strong and clinical on the attack. The approach will not change, and it makes them favourites for this game.

Belgium overcame the USA in some style, but Spain is a completely different test, one they will have to put on a special performance to get over the line.

For me, there is only one winner here and that is Euro winners, Spain.

Other markets include Romelu Lukaku to score, Lamine Yamal to have two or more shots on target and Mikel Oyarzabal to score two or more goals.
