Spain vs Austria
Likely line-up
📖 The Preview
Spain are massive favourites here and it's not hard to see why, with a 78% win probability that tells you pretty much everything. Austria will make it competitive for a spell, they always do, but Spain have too much quality across the pitch and the numbers strongly suggest they'll keep a clean sheet while finding the net three times. The over 2.5 goals prediction landing alongside a no BTTS call points directly to one team doing all the scoring, and that team is Spain.
