Regional rivalries are some of the most intense in international sports, and that’s especially true when both teams are global powerhouses in their own right. In recent years, both Iberian teams, Spain and Portugal, have consistently ranked among the best in the world, and they’ve faced off recently in the 2018 World Cup and the 2025 UEFA Nations League final. Their 3 p.m. ET matchup headlines the Round of 16 at this World Cup. The winner will go on to face either the United States or Belgium.

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 Roberto Martínez has done the same for the Seleçao das Quinas.

Spain is a -110 favorite to win in regular time at DraftKings Sportsbook (-225 to advance to the quarterfinals), and Portugal is +310 (+180 to advance). There are +255 odds that the match will be level after regular time.
