Spain are preparing to take on Austria as they aim to move one step closer to capturing what would be their second World Cup title.

The 2010 World Cup winners are currently the third favourites to lift the trophy, with only France and Argentina ahead of them, giving them a strong opportunity to advance further.

However, Austria have already netted six goals in this tournament and could be capable of pulling off a surprise result.

Spain to WIN - 3/10

Draw - 15/4

Austria to WIN - 17/2

Spain enter this encounter as clear favourites, intent on paving their way towards another World Cup final appearance.

That said, the Spanish side have not managed to win a knockout match at a World Cup since their triumph back in 2010.

Austria demonstrated impressive determination in their final group game against Algeria, securing a late equaliser after conceding what initially appeared to be a decisive goal.

Whether they can produce another remarkable performance against a team of Spain’s calibre remains uncertain, but Spain’s opening draw with Cape Verde indicates that an upset cannot be completely ruled out.

Nevertheless, Spain have since recorded convincing victories over Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, and those results suggest they should have enough quality to progress beyond this round.

Lamine Yamal will be one to watch as he looks to make a significant impact for Spain during the World Cup campaign.
