How teams did in the group stage is all but irrelevant now, as Spain’s group-winning performance and Austria’s effort that saw it stave off elimination in the 96th minute against Algeria are for naught. The loser of today’s 3 p.m. ET match in Los Angeles will go home, and the winner will advance to face either Portugal or Croatia in the Round of 16.

Both teams’ lineups are now set for the pivotal clash. Luis de la Fuente has announced the 11 men who will represent La Roja, while Ralf Rangnick has done the same for Das Team.

Spain is a -340 favorite to win in regular time at DraftKings Sportsbook (-1000 to advance to the Round of 16), and Austria is +1100 (+600 to advance). There are +450 odds that the match will be level after regular time.
