Spain hasn’t conceded a single goal through five matches. Belgium just dismantled the USA 4-1 without even starting their two biggest stars. Something has to give when these two collide in the World Cup quarterfinal — and it might be the most intriguing matchup of the round.

## The Road Here

Spain edged Portugal 1-0 in the Round of 16 thanks to a late Mikel Merino winner, extending their unbeaten run to four straight wins since an opening draw against Cape Verde. Their defense remains the tournament’s standout stat — zero goals conceded so far.

Belgium’s path looked shakier early on, but their Round of 16 win over the USA changed the conversation entirely. Coach Rudi Garcia benched Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku, and Belgium still produced their most fluid, dominant performance of the tournament.

## Prediction

Spain enter as clear favorites, and the numbers back it up — an ironclad defense against a Belgium side that, despite its attacking outburst, has looked inconsistent defensively across the tournament. Expect Spain’s midfield control to dictate tempo, with Belgium banking on quick transitions through Doku’s pace if he starts. A narrow Spain win, likely 1-0 or 2-1, looks the most probable outcome, though Belgium’s counter-attacking threat keeps this from being a lock.

## Lineups To Watch

Spain are expected to stick with the shape that’s worked all tournament, leaning on their compact midfield and Lamine Yamal’s creativity going forward. Belgium face a selection headache after benching De Bruyne and Doku paid off last round — Garcia may be tempted to repeat the same approach rather than fix what isn’t broken.
