General match analysis

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. Spain is the most controlling team of the remaining quarterfinalists: it can take away the opponent's rhythm, reduce the number of transitions and play patiently even with a low score. Belgium looked impressive in the previous round, but the 4-1 result against the USA cannot cover up a structural problem: without Onana, the midfield loses physicality, tackling and space protection from the defenders. De Bruyne and Doku have a high ceiling, but unless they are ready to go full pace from the start, Belgium will struggle to keep the ball under Spain pressure. This looks like a control match, not an exchange of blows. Spain has a greater chance to win low than Belgium to open the match with a series of attacks. Our prediction: 58% for Spain, 25% for draw and 17% for Belgium. Most likely exact score: 1-0. Promotion after the whole match: Spain (73% vs 27%). Status: BET

BTTS - will both teams score?

Typ BTTS: no. Spain is the most controlling team of the remaining quarterfinalists: it can take away the opponent's rhythm, reduce the number of transitions and play patiently even with low scores. Belgium looked impressive in the previous round, but the 4-1 result against the USA cannot cover up a structural problem: without Onana, the midfield loses physicality, tackling and space protection from the defenders. De Bruyne and Doku have a high ceiling, but unless they are ready to go full pace from the start, Belgium will struggle to keep the ball under Spain pressure. This looks like a control match, not an exchange of blows. Spain has a greater chance to win low than Belgium to open the match with a series of attacks. The match profile emphasizes control, low blocking and a limited number of clean chances for one side, so a clean sheet for one team is more likely. The model gives 36% on BTTS Yes and 64% on BTTS No, with xG Spain 1.50 and Belgium 0.65. Status: BET

Over/Under - goals analysis

Typ: under 2.5. Spain is the most controlling team of the remaining quarterfinalists: it can take away the opponent's rhythm, reduce the number of transitions and play patiently even with low scores. Belgium looked impressive in the previous round, but the 4-1 result against the USA cannot cover up a structural problem: without Onana, the midfield loses physicality, tackling and space protection from the defenders.

This looks like a control match, not an exchange of blows. Spain has a greater chance to win low than Belgium to open the match with a series of attacks. The model gives 36% on Over 2.5 and 64% on Under 2.5. xG: Spain 1.50, Belgium 0.65, total 2.15. Most likely result: 1-0. Line 2.5 separates a controlled match from an open match. The key here is whether the weaker side has a viable path to goal; if not, a score of 1-0 or 2-0 leaves the under. Status: BET
