Spain vs Austria Preview and Team News
Spain Team News
Spain are one of the favourites to lift the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They have been unbeaten in all three games they’ve played so far, winning two and drawing one. Most recently, they defeated Uruguay by a narrow 1-0 scoreline, with Alex Baena finding the net.
La Roja dictated terms all evening, keeping 67% of the ball. However, their attacking returns did not correspond much to their possession statistics. They took just six shots, of which only one ended up on target.
Nonetheless, Spain forced the issue throughout the outing, boasting a passing accuracy of 89%, as well as taking 19 touches in their opponents’ box. Luis de la Fuente’s men were fantastic in the air, winning 76% of all the aerial duels they entered into.
Nico Williams and Yeremi Pino have been sidelined for La Roja with hamstring and collarbone injuries, respectively.
Spain predicted lineup vs Austria (4-3-3): Simon; Cucurella, Laporte, Cubarsi, Llorente; Pedri, Rodri, Merino; Baena, Oyarzabal, Lamal.
Austria Team News
Austria’s path to the round of 32 stage has been quite different from that of Spain – Austria won just one out of their three matches. However, they made it here thanks to being one of the best third-ranked sides.
On Saturday, they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Algeria in their final group outing. This game seemed to be going the way of the Algerians until Sasa Kalajdzic scored an equaliser in stoppage time.
The LASK attacker is set to start against the Spanish squad, since he had a 100% accuracy in both passing and shooting. Marcel Sabitzer, who also scored a goal, had a shooting accuracy of 100%.
Two of Das Team‘s stalwarts, David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic, are doubtful starters for this game with injuries. Manager Ralf Rangnick will hope for them to at least come off the bench.
Austria predicted lineup vs Spain (4-2-3-1): A. Schlager; Mwene, Danso, Lienhart, Posch; X. Schlager, Seiwald; Sabitzer, Schmid, Laimer; Kalajdzic.
Spain vs Austria Prediction
- Pick: Spain to win
- Odds: -313 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Spain 3-0 Austria
Spain are the favourites, and should win comfortably. They’re ranked 2nd by FIFA, while Das Team are only 24th. Their form has been better than Austria’s, and they’ve won two out of the three games they have played so far in this tournament, going unbeaten in all of them.
Austria have only won once in the same period. Spain have better experience in this tournament, having won it in 2010. Das Team have never advanced further than third place, which was in 1954.
Spain vs Austria Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score – NO
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
Both teams are NOT expected to score. Only the Spanish side are anticipated to do so, with a clean sheet. Their defence is superior to Austria’s and has not been breached even once at this World Cup. Das Team have conceded six goals already in three outings.
The absence of star striker Arnautovic due to injury will further harm Austria’s chances. Spain’s defenders are in excellent form, allowing just one shot on target and one big chance across all 90 minutes against Uruguay. La Roja have also seen this prediction come true in two out of their last three matches, and are favourites.
