Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup odds and betting angles for Monday’s fixture:

Portugal had to come from behind in their round‑of‑32 clash with Croatia, with a late winner securing a 2-1 victory for Roberto Martínez’s side. The game wasn’t without controversy either, as Croatia saw their last‑gasp equaliser ruled out by the narrowest of margins — a hair follicle in the offside review.
Seleção das Quinas have lost just two of their last twenty‑four matches, but they haven’t won back‑to‑back World Cup knockout games since 2006. That trend may well be tested again here: Portugal have beaten Spain only once in their last seven meetings, and even that came via penalties in last year’s Nations League final.
Despite that recent shootout success, Portugal have won just one of their last twelve competitive games against Spain inside ninety minutes. They are 14/5 with William Hill to change that and win this one inside the distance.

Spain look to have fully clicked into gear, as shown in their commanding 3-0 victory over Austria in the round of 32. La Roja have been rock‑solid defensively too, arriving in the last 16 without conceding a single goal at this World Cup.
They come into this tie on a fourteen‑match unbeaten run (W9, D4), while Luis de la Fuente remains unbeaten in major tournaments — winning ten of his eleven games in charge and drawing the other. Remove penalty‑shootout defeats from the equation and Spain are on a remarkable 35‑game unbeaten streak, equalling their all‑time national record.
This particular fixture has a habit of ending level. Six of the last seven meetings between these sides have finished as a draw inside ninety minutes, making 5/2 with William Hill for another stalemate a very realistic option for punters.
