Other World Cup Best Bets

Spain to Win in Regulation (-155, DraftKings) 

While Belgium looked good offensively in the win over the United States, they simply aren’t going to get those sorts of opportunities of chances against Spain. La Roja has been extremely stingy defensively and tends to avoid the turnovers that Belgium thrives on in the World Cup. Simon has been stellar between the sticks in the World Cup and has seven clean sheets in nine World Cup appearances. With Yamal and Oyarzabal leading the way offensively, Spain is a dangerous offensive side. Look for La Roja to do enough offensively while frustrating the Red Devils to win in regulation.

Belgium vs. Spain Under 2.5 Goals (-104, Betr)

Spain has surrendered a grand total of nothing so far in the World Cup. That’s right, Simon has five clean sheets to his credit. Meanwhile, La Roja has surrendered a total of five shots on target on 29 total shot attempts in their five matches. Belgium has averaged the second most shot attempts per match in the World Cup but most of their damage is done off turnovers. That’s not Spain’s calling card and we’ve seen how difficult it can be just to get a shot on target on La Roja. This shakes out like as a 1-0 or maybe 2-0 match at best, keeping this match under the total.
