Two to four Spain goals

Spain haven't been scoring quite as much recently, but their desperate need for a positive result – alongside the return of influential attackers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams – should ensure Luis De la Fuente's side pack more of a punch in the final third. Despite drawing a blank against African minnows Cape Verde, Spain have scored between three and six goals in five of their last eight matches. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia have conceded either two, three, or four goals in four of their last six outings. 

Prediction: 2-4 Match Goals Range – Spain: 8/15 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet lands if Spain score exactly two, three, or four goals during the match. 

At least nine corners

Spain are expected to attack from the first whistle, which results in them earning plenty of corners. Both of Group H's opening matches produced more than 10 corners, so don't be surprised if we see a similar amount being awarded on Sunday evening. 

Although Spain and Uruguay received the bulk of the corners on matchday one, Saudi Arabia still made four trips to the flag during an absorbing contest in Miami.

Prediction: Over 8 Corners: 2/5 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet lands if nine or more corners are taken during the match. 

Goals galore

The last two meetings between these teams produced over three goals. Furthermore, there have been over two goals in 12 of Spain's last 14 competitive fixtures, while the same could be said for four of Saudi Arabia's six most recent clashes. Therefore, we believe the odds below offer extremely decent value.  

Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals: 1/2 (bet365)

Explanation: This bet lands if three or more goals are scored during the match, regardless of the final result.
