Spain vs. Saudi Arabia World Cup 2026 Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Sunday, June 21

How to watch Spain vs. Saudi Arabia: FOX (English) | Telemundo (Spanish)

Kickoff Time: 12:00 p.m. ET

Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia

Group: Group H

After a disappointing draw vs. debutants Cape Verde, the Spanish national team is looking for a key win vs. Saudi Arabia. Spain had 27 shots and 74.2% of possession time with 7 shots on target and did not score in the 0-0 draw. Starting slow is nothing new for the 2010 champions, as they are now 1-2-2 in the last five openers of the World Cup but have rebounded to go 2-1-1 in the second match. 

Spain is expected to have the ball for long stretches in this match, but will need to get quick combinations with forwards Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Nico Williams.  

Saudi Arabia also earned a draw in the first match with Uruguay, meaning all four teams in the group are tied at one point. The team only had 33.3% possession and 3 shots on target in the draw, sitting back in defense. Expect more of the same in this match, with the Green Falcons content to shrink the pitch and deny Spain access.
