World Cup 2026: Spain vs. Portugal Opening Odds

These two teams got past the Round of 32 and into the Round of 16 in very different ways to set up arguably the best matchup of this stage of the competition. Spain cruised to victory against Austria, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring twice as the Spanish dominated from start to finish in a 3-0 win. Portugal, on the other hand, came from behind against Croatia to somehow win it 2-1. A late goal for Croatia was dramatically ruled out for offside, which saw the Portuguese advance. These teams met up in the Nations League final last summer, which ended in a 2-2 draw. The game went all the way to penalties, where Portugal came out victorious. Let’s hope we get a similar type of game here with lots of action.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Spain opens as the favorite, listed at -110 on the 90-minute moneyline. Portugal’s odds of winning in regulation are +310, and the two teams being level after 90 minutes is +260. Spain to advance outright is at -220, while Portugal is the underdog at +175. The over/under on total goals starts at 2.5, with the under being favored at -120.
