Spain and Belgium are well-acquainted opponents, with this marking their 23rd encounter overall (excluding Olympic competitions). Their first meeting dates back to 1921, with La Roja claiming victory in that clash and establishing a pattern for future contests. Spain has emerged victorious in 12 of those previous matches and has suffered defeat on just five occasions.
Luis de la Fuente and his squad arrive at this World Cup quarterfinal on the back of four consecutive victories, including a dramatic late winner against Portugal in the round of 16. Remarkably, Spain has yet to concede a single goal throughout the tournament, posting five straight clean sheets and surrendering a mere 1.5 xG (expected goals) so far. Their defensive record stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Belgium has managed only one clean sheet to this point and appeared largely unconvincing prior to their commanding dismantling of the USMNT. They carry a genuine threat in attack, however, averaging 2.6 goals per game and netting 12 times across their last three fixtures. With 211 touches recorded inside the opposition's penalty area, it comes as little shock that the Red Devils have found the net so frequently.
Spain is yet to recapture the form that brought them European Championship glory, but should possess enough quality to overcome Belgium.
