Game takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, between Portugal and Spain. This is Iberian derby. While Spain boast a formidable defense that has kept clean sheets across all four of their tournament matches so far, Portugal's veteran attack remains a dangerous threat capable of finding the back of the net.
Matches between these two neighboring powerhouses are famously tense and tactical. In fact, h2h history heavily favors stalemates, with a remarkable six draws in their last ten competitive meetings. With a quarterfinal spot on the line against either the USA or Belgium, neither manager is likely to take reckless risks.
Because of this tactical tension and defensive solidity, a draw inside regular 90 mins is a good option imo. 0-0 or 1-1 are possible outcomes. Beyond that, I don’t know. Personally I don’t wanna see neither of these teams go home. They should meet in semi finals or further. This round is too early. Though, I’d like to see Spain advance after PK.
