General match analysis
Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 2. Portugal has individual quality and can win the match in one moment, but her game against well-placed opponents can be too fragmentary. Spain has better control of the midfield, a calmer structure after a turnover and a more natural patience in matches where the score remains low for a long time. We do not assume the dominance of Spain, only an advantage in tempo management and a lower risk of losing shape after a failed action. This should be a very close match, with a greater chance of breakthrough for Spain. Our prediction: 29% for Portugal, 33% for draw and 38% for Spain. Most likely exact score: 0:1. Promotion after the whole match: Spain (43% vs 57%). Status: SMALL BET
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Typ BTTS: no. Portugal has individual quality and can win the match in one moment, but her game against well-placed opponents can be too sporadic. Spain has better control of the midfield, a calmer structure after a turnover and a more natural patience in matches where the score remains low for a long time. We do not assume the dominance of Spain, only an advantage in tempo management and a lower risk of losing shape after a failed action. This should be a very close match, with a greater chance of breakthrough for Spain. Temperature control and a limited number of clean chances for one side are more important, so one team not scoring is marginally more likely. The model gives 47% on BTTS Yes and 53% on BTTS No, with xG Portugal 0.95 and Spain 1.25. Status: NOBET

Typ: under 2.5. Portugal has individual quality and can win the match in one moment, but her game against well-placed opponents can be too sporadic. Spain has better control of the midfield, a calmer structure after a turnover and a more natural patience in matches where the score remains low for a long time. We do not assume the dominance of Spain, only an advantage in tempo management and a lower risk of losing shape after a failed action. This should be a very close match, with a greater chance of breakthrough for Spain. The model gives 38% on Over 2.5 and 62% on Under 2.5. xG: Portugal 0.95, Spain 1.25, total 2.20. Most likely result: 0:1. Line 2.5 separates a controlled 1:0 or 1:1 match from a scenario in which the other side has to explore the pitch more strongly. Here, the caution of the knockout phase lowers the natural goal ceiling. Status: BET

We do not assume the dominance of Spain, only an advantage in tempo management and a lower risk of losing shape after a failed action. This should be a very close match, with a greater chance of breakthrough for Spain. A long draw is the most natural option, as both sides have a reason not to open the match too early.
