Spain vs Belgium 1/4 Final Preview (July 11, 03:00)

Spain have kept a clean sheet throughout this tournament. Rodri, anchoring the midfield, firmly controls the tempo. Yamal continually stretches the back line from the flank. Their possession-based system is mature, with plenty of stamina and sufficient rotation. The only weakness is their slower break-through pace—wearing down a compact defense has been difficult to crack.
Belgium rely on De Bruyne’s long balls and Doku’s pace to launch counterattacks. Lukaku tries to win aerial duels in the box, but their defense isn’t very stable and the veterans’ stamina is running thin. They nearly went out in the group stage and have mainly relied on counterattacks to create threats.
Tactically, Spain have perfect control over the “Red Devils” midfield, cutting off De Bruyne’s passing outlets. Over the match, Spain will likely keep sustained possession and apply pressure. Belgium will gamble on counterattacks in the first 60 minutes, then tighten up and defend in the second half. The overall outlook favors a narrow win for Spain, but you must be wary of a 90-minute draw that drags the game into extra time.#BinancePickAndWin
