LiontipsSpain vs Saudi Arabia: betting tip (cf 1.92) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Spain disappointed its fans in the first round by drawing 0-0 with Cape Verde. It is necessary to pay tribute in that meeting to the 40-year-old goalkeeper of the opponent Vozin, who saved his team more than once. Predictably, Luis de la Fuente's men had a significant territorial advantage (74% of possession), created more than one dangerous moment, but they could not score. There was often a lack of speed in the development of attacks, affected by the absence of Lamin Yamal. After the Barcelona player entered the field in the second half, at the end of the meeting they managed to increase their movement and speed on the right flank, but this did not lead to victory. It should be noted that the Spaniards had similar problems opening up a saturated defense in a friendly meeting on the eve of the World Cup with Iraq (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Munoz is on the injured list.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of Spain's last four matches, a draw was recorded in the first half.
- There was no goal exchange in three of the Spaniards' previous five matches.
Approximate line–up: Simon – Llorente, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella – Ruiz, Rodri, Pedri - Yamal, Oyarzabal, Torres.
Current form
Saudi Arabia can make a start in the World Cup. In the first half, the national team drew with Uruguay (1-1), and even after the opening 45 minutes, they led the score. The opponent equalized in the second half, and could have scored again, since the Saudis were physically hooked after the break, could not keep up the pace, and there were no opportunities for full rotation and substitutions. It is worth paying attention to the figures in the second 45 minutes: only 25% of possession, not a single shot on goal, while the opponent scored 22 shots (eight of them on target). Ahead of the game against Spain, where they will have to defend the whole match, it does not look like Donis's wards are functionally ready for such a challenge.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Saudi Arabian national team has no losses.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Saudi Arabia's players were offside less often than their opponents.
- In three of the previous five matches of the Saudi national team, there was an exchange of goals scored.

Tip and bets
Spain clearly has no plans to lose points at the World Cup for the second time in a row. It was not possible to open Cape Verde's saturated defense, there was not always enough speed in the development of attacks, although there were enough chances. Today, most likely, Yamal will enter the field from the start, and this is a decent gain, just in terms of speed. Plus, Saudi Arabia, as the match against Uruguay showed, is not ready to keep up the pace and play at the same level for the entire 90 minutes, in the second half of that meeting, the Saudis simply got hooked functionally and, not without a bit of luck, held a draw. Against Spain, with its total ball control, it is unlikely that Donis's team will be able to avoid a crushing defeat.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-2.5) for Spain by a factor of 1.92
Bet on the total
Saudi Arabia's defense completely failed in the second half against Uruguay, and with some luck they conceded only one goal. There is a game ahead against Spain, where you can expect threats from any player in attack, and you will have to play under total pressure. Donis does not have the opportunity to rotate the squad, and without this it will be difficult to contain the attack of an opponent superior in class. We expect that the Spaniards will be able to score at least three times today.
The second bet is Spain's individual goal total of more than 2.5 with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on corners
In the match against Cape Verde, the Spaniards had possession of the ball 74% of the playing time, and won 11-1 from corners. We are waiting for a similar scenario in the upcoming meeting and recommend betting on a confident victory for Spain in the corners.
Betting Tip – head start (-5.5) on corners for Spain with a coefficient of 1.72
