Spain and Belgium Set for World Cup 2026 Quarterfinal Clash: Betting Insights and Key Stats

Spain will take on Belgium in the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday, July 10, at the Los Angeles Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:00 PM local time (22:00 Kyiv time). According to the latest betting markets, Spain are clear favorites to win in regulation time, with odds of 1.64. Belgium are priced at 5.70, while a draw is listed at 4.05. Analysts recommend a combined bet on a Spain win and total goals under 4.5, offered at 1.95. The Spanish side has won their last four matches by that exact margin, and in Belgium’s ten most recent defeats, fewer than five goals were scored each time. Another intriguing option is Mikel Oyarzabal to score anytime at 2.15. The Spanish forward has been in red-hot form since the start of 2025, netting 16 goals in 17 appearances for his country, including two braces during this World Cup. He also beat Thibaut Courtois twice at club level in the 2025/26 season, suggesting he could trouble the Belgian goalkeeper again. A bet on Belgium to score in the second half carries odds of 2.33. While Spain have kept clean sheets in all five of their World Cup matches so far, Belgium have been most dangerous after the break – scoring nine of their twelve tournament goals in the second half. That streak may well be what ends Spain’s defensive shutout run.
