🇪🇸 Spain
🏆 FIFA #2 · Euro 2024 Champions · Group H winners
👤 Luis de la Fuente
⭐ Mikel Oyarzabal (4 goals, top scorer), Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Mikel Merino
📊 9 goals in 5 games this tournament — beat Austria 3-0 (R32), Portugal 1-0 (Merino stoppage-time header, R16)
🚑 Nico Williams still out (tournament-ending injury from the group stage)
📌 Clean sheet in all 5 matches so far — a Spanish national-team World Cup record, and genuinely elite process (0.7 xGA in the group stage, not just fortunate)
🇧🇪 Belgium
🏆 FIFA Top 10 · "Red Devils" · Group G winners
👤 Rudi Garcia
⭐ Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois (GK), Romelu Lukaku (8 WC goals — level with Maradona, Völler, Rivaldo)
📊 13 goals in 5 games (tournament's most productive attack among the final 8) — beat New Zealand (R32), USA 4-1 (R16)
🚑 Amadou Onana confirmed out; Doku a fitness doubt
📌 Shakier defense (5 conceded in 5 games) — group-stage xG (6.8/2.1) still underperformed on goals scored (6), so more scoring is plausible, but so is conceding against a side this sharp in front of goal
H2HNo significant recent head-to-head between the sides

All 5 sites now in. 🔥 4/5 sites back a straight Spain win — Betarades (1&O1.5 @2.05), Foxbet (1 in 90' @1.70), Kingbet (1 @1.62), and Sports Mole's model (Correct Score 1-0 Spain) all agree; only BetOnArme breaks from the pack with Over 2.5 goals @1.80, betting on both teams' attacking output rather than picking a side. Live market odds (Stoiximan: Spain 1.67 / Draw 3.85 / Belgium 5.20, ~60%/26%/19% implied) back the same lean. Spain have the standout record of the tournament — clean sheet in all 5 matches, a national-team World Cup first, backed by real process (0.7 xGA, not luck). Belgium counter with the most goals of any team left (13 in 5) but a shakier defense (5 conceded) — real attacking threat, but this is a strong tipster consensus against them.
My pick: Spain 1X (Double Chance) & Mikel Oyarzabal Anytime Goalscorer @1.87 (both Stoiximan, real confirmed odds) — combined ≈2.17. Went through several revisions on this one: Clean Sheet fought Belgium's real attacking threat (13 goals in 5 games); Over 2.5 fought Spain's own low-scoring win pattern (their 1X case rests on a defense that tends to produce 1-0/2-0 wins, not shootouts); Spain Over 0.5 was the highest-probability option (~85%) but its combined price (≈1.33) fell below our 1.40 minimum-odds floor. Oyarzabal anytime — Spain's top scorer with 4 goals — is the one leg that doesn't fight any part of the case for Spain, and clears the floor comfortably.
