Spain and Austria go head-to-head in the World Cup last 32 with La Roja looking to move one step closer towards their second trophy at the showpiece tournament. As Spain faced no difficulties in the group stages, we predict a routine 2-0 home win. La Roja cruised through the group stage without conceding a single goal, underlining their status as genuine title contenders. Luis de la Fuente is expected to make one change, with Dani Olmo likely to replace Mikel Merino in the starting XI. Defensively, Spain have been almost flawless, allowing just 0.14 expected goals against (xGA) per match at the 2026 World Cup while keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Overall, they have won six of their last ten matches, averaging 2.2 goals scored and conceding only 0.4 goals per game, with an impressive 2.18 expected goals (xG) highlighting their attacking quality.
Austria, on the other hand, booked their place in the knockout stages after an entertaining 3-3 draw with Algeria, with veteran striker Marko Arnautovic opening the scoring once again. Defender Kevin Danso is pushing for a recall after appearing as a substitute in that match. Ralf Rangnick's side have won six of their last ten matches, averaging 2.6 goals scored while conceding 0.9 per game. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
As La Roja have looked outstanding at both ends of the pitch throughout the tournament, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Yamal to Score and Spain to Win to Nil (They have yet to concede a goal and boast an exceptional 0.14 xGA at the World Cup).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Thursday 2 July 2026 at 20:00.
