Portugal vs Spain Prediction (06.07.2026)

An extremely dramatic match took place between Portugal and Croatia in the Round of 16, with Portugal ultimately winning 2-1. Overall, they only faced difficulties against Uzbekistan, while in their other three matches so far in the tournament, they definitely encountered quite a few challenges. Portugal will try for the first time in its history to reach two consecutive quarter-finals in a World Cup. Last year, they defeated Spain in the Nations League final, but only after penalties and a 2-2 draw.

Spain stumbled at the start against Cape Verde, but then reminded everyone of their capabilities. They won their subsequent three matches, and together with Mexico, are the only two teams that have not conceded a goal in this World Cup. Meanwhile, Spain has not lost in regular time in their last 34 official matches.

Six of the last seven matches between them ended in a draw in regular time. Spain is definitely showing a better performance than Portugal so far in the World Cup. I think the Spaniards will advance, but it's time for them to at least concede a goal in this World Cup.
