Match description

Spain, after a 0:0 with Cape Verde Islands, must respond; however, they dominated possession and their issues were finishing and breaking down a low block. Saudi Arabia took a point from Uruguay, so they shouldn’t be underestimated, but against Spain they will again defend deep for long periods. Bet: Spain, though the likely scoreline is 1:0 or 2:0 rather than a rout. Status: BET
