The Spanish national team, considered one of the favourites to win the World Cup, will face Austria. The match will take place in Los Angeles on 2 July.

The Spanish national team

Luis de la Fuente’s side looks fairly well-balanced. However, this is merely a first impression. The team cannot be described as particularly strong.

At the same time, the squad is not one that immediately makes you want to call the ‘Red Fury’ the main contender in the tournament. It is clear that the team does not look particularly promising in terms of reaching the final.

The Austrian national team

The Austrian team have put in some strong performances in attack. They have already scored plenty of goals against their opponents in this tournament.

We can expect goals and surprises from the Austrians in attack. The legendary Marko Arnautović is still in the squad and continues to score goals.

Spain v Austria prediction

The Spaniards are, of course, the favourites, but the match won’t be a walk in the park for them. The Spanish side will have more possession and create a large number of chances. The start of the game may prove to be rather subdued. The situation could change in the second half, so there may be more goals scored than in the first.

‘Total goals’ and ‘both teams to score’ look like safe bets, but in their own right.
