Spain vs Cape Verde Preview and Team News

Spain Team News

Spain begin their FIFA World Cup campaign against Cape Verde. They come here on the back of a 3-1 friendly win over Peru. Winger Ferran Torres posted the most touches in the opposition box (six) and completed 86% of his passes.

Mikel Oyarzabal scored a goal before being substituted at the end of the first half.

Pedri stood out with 100% passing accuracy and 100% shooting accuracy. The Barcelona player contributed in the defensive half as well. He was excellent in possession, completed all of his long-ball attempts, and maintained a perfect dribble success rate.

La Roja have no injury concerns in their squad.

Spain predicted lineup vs Cape Verde (4-3-3): Simon; Cucurella, Laporte, Cubarsi, Llorente; Pedri, Rodri, Ruiz; Baena, Oyarzabal, Torres.

Cape Verde Team News

Cape Verde have won just one game in their previous five. Their latest encounter ended in a 3-1 victory against Serbia. Before that, they secured a 1-1 draw with Finland in a match that was ultimately decided by penalties, which they won 4-2.

Against Finland, Cape Verde controlled 52% of possession and registered 15 shots, though only three were on target. Their 85% passing accuracy helped them create two big chances, one of which they converted. While tussling for the ball, they won 50% of all their ground duels and 67% of their aerial battles.

Like Spain, Cape Verde have no injury concerns heading into this fixture.

Cape Verde predicted lineup vs Spain (4-2-3-1): Vozinha; S. Cabral, Lopes, Borges, W. Pina; K. Pina, Arcanjo; J. Cabral, Monteiro, Mendes; da Costa.

Spain vs Cape Verde Prediction

  • Pick: Spain to win
  • Odds: -1111 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Spain 5-0 Cape Verde

We expect Spain to win. They are ranked second in the FIFA rankings, while Cape Verde are 69th, highlighting the significant gap in quality between the two nations.

La Roja are unbeaten in their last five matches and have scored nine goals during that stretch. They have a wide range of attacking talent in their ranks, including Oyarzabal (22 goal contributions for Real Sociedad in 2025-26).

With superior quality across the pitch and far more experience at the highest level, Spain should open their World Cup campaign with a comfortable victory.

Spain vs Cape Verde Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both teams to score – NO
  • Odds: -192 (20Bet)

Spain look well-positioned to win while keeping a clean sheet. They have recorded shutouts in two of their last four outings, and this appears to be another favorable matchup for their defense.

Despite keeping 52% of the ball against Finland, Cape Verde managed just three shots on target from 15 attempts – a 20% accuracy rate that underlines their inability to convert possession into genuine threat.

They created only two big chances in that game and missed one of them. Against the Spanish defense that conceded just twice in their last four matches, the Atlas Sharks are unlikely to find a way through.

Cape Verde face a major challenge containing Spain’s talented attack, which features Oyarzabal, Ferran Torres (24 goal involvements for Barcelona in 2025-26), and Pedri (12 assists for Barcelona in 2025-26).
