Spain enter Thursday\u2019s knockout clash in Los Angeles with\u00a0favouritism\u00a0firmly on their side after topping Group H and keeping things seriously tidy at the back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La Roja made it through the Group Stage without conceding, pairing a 4-0 demolition of Saudi Arabia with more measured results against\u00a0Cape Verde\u00a0and Uruguay.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Austria, meanwhile, have taken the scenic route to the knockouts. Ralf\u00a0Rangnick\u2019s\u00a0men punched their ticket after a chaotic 3-3 draw with Algeria, showing plenty of ticker but also leaving a few defensive gaps that Spain will be keen to exploit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Austrians are physical,\u00a0organised, and capable of making life awkward if they can break up Spain\u2019s rhythm early. Expect them to sit in, stay compact, and look for their moments from set pieces or on the counter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, Spain\u2019s midfield control and composure in the final third should be the difference. With Rodri dictating terms, Pedri and Dani Olmo drifting into dangerous areas, and Lamine Yamal offering width and spark, La Roja look well placed to grind out another professional result.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Austria can make them work for it, but Spain\u2019s class and clean defensive record are hard to knock.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Spain to Win & Under 3.5 Goals @ $1.95<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong> Spain to Win to Nil @ $1.95<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Player Pick:<\/strong> Mikel Oyarzabal Anytime Goalscorer @ $1.91<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
