Belgium, however, has the firepower to pose Spain's biggest challenge yet. The Red Devils produced an emphatic 4-1 victory over co-hosts USA, becoming the first team at this World Cup to surpass 100 total shots. Rudi Garcia's side are now unbeaten in 18 matches, winning 12 and drawing six while averaging more than three goals per game. Having reached the World Cup quarter-finals before on their way to a third-place finish in 2018, Belgium will believe they have both the quality and experience to upset one of the tournament favourites.

History favours Spain, which has won each of the last five meetings between the two nations, including a 2-0 friendly victory in 2016. Spain's ability to control matches is reflected by the fact that only three of their last 15 games saw both teams score, while they have led at half-time in 11 of their last 12 regulation-time victories. Mikel Merino enters the contest in fine spirits after opening his World Cup account, while Belgium will once again look to the ever-dangerous Romelu Lukaku, whose impact from the bench has already made tournament history. Spain has a fully fit squad, whereas Belgium must cope without influential midfielder Amadou Onana, who has been ruled out with a serious knee injury.
