Two or more total goals with a Spanish win

Spain are heavy favourites and face an Austrian side that have conceded in every World Cup match (six goals in total), notably the two goals they let in against Argentina and the three against Algeria. While Spain are not at their attacking best, the four goals scored against Saudi Arabia show that De la Fuente’s men are capable of winning and scoring twice in the process. Four of the last five meetings between the two sides have seen this prediction come true.

Tip: Spain to win and over 1.5 total goals – 8/13 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Spain win and there are two or more goals in total in the match.

Between two and four total goals

There’s an interesting price for this, as two of Austria’s three World Cup matches and three of the last four meetings between these sides have seen two, three or four total goals. We also find that eight of Spain’s last 11 matches have ended within that goal range, so it’s reasonable to expect this match could finish with a similar number of goals.

Tip: Between 2 and 4 total goals – 8/15 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if there are more than one and fewer than five goals in total in the match.

Oyarzábal to score or assist

Mikel Oyarzábal is one of the national team’s top attackers, a striker with a real eye for goal, especially when he pulls on the red shirt. The Real Sociedad forward has scored or assisted in nine of his last 11 appearances for Spain, with only the first and third matches of this World Cup breaking that remarkable run. But the Basque already showed his firepower against Saudi Arabia, scoring twice in just three minutes.

Tip: Oyarzábal to score or assist – 4/7 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Oyarzábal scores or assists
