Spain and Belgium meet in the second of four World Cup quarter-finals tonight, with the two European heavyweights going head-to-head in Los Angeles.
Spain topped their group with two wins and a draw before cruising past Austria 3-0 in the Round of 32. They then edged out Iberian rivals Portugal 1-0 in the last 16, with Mikel Merino’s dramatic 91st-minute winner sealing their place in the quarter-finals.
And they are favourites with Sky Bet to reach the semi-finals, priced at 2/7. Belgium, meanwhile, are 5/2 outsiders to cause an upset.
