Portugal vs Spain Prediction & Tips
Spain arrived here in dominant form. A 3-0 win over Austria in the Round of 32 — Oyarzabal scoring twice either side of Pedro Porro’s first international goal — continued a tournament record of zero goals conceded and a defense that has barely been tested. Lamine Yamal has been the standout player of the group stage, Rodri controls the tempo, and Spain’s pressing machine has looked close to the form that won them Euro 2024.
Portugal got through in more dramatic fashion. Ronaldo was substituted while the score was still level against Croatia before two late goals — a Ronaldo penalty and a Gonçalo Ramos header in stoppage time — sealed a 2-1 comeback win. Ronaldo, 41, is now the first player in history to score at six World Cups, and dedicated the win to the injured Diogo Jota.
