Spain vs Belgium Predictions for July 10, 2026

The quarterfinal knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is officially under way. France beat Morocco 2-0 on Thursday to advance to the semifinals. Three more teams will eventually join them there. Seven teams are still alive at the time of this writing. July 10th is the twenty-ninth match day of the tournament and the second day of quarterfinal knockout stage play.

There is 1 quarterfinal knockout stage game on Friday. Spain faces off against Belgium in that contest. That game will be in Inglewood, CA, USA at 3 PM ET on FOX.

Can Spain win outright, cover the 0.5-goal spread, and advance to the semifinals against Belgium?

Note: If a game is tied at the end of 90 minutes and stoppage time, it is technically ruled a “draw” for betting purposes. Additionally, spreads, totals, and player props only apply to the 90 minutes of regulation time and stoppage time unless specified.

Spain vs Belgium Prediction July 10 Game Spread Pick

Spain will cover the 0.5-goal spread against Belgium this Friday afternoon in Los Angeles by relying on their impenetrable defense, which has yet to concede a single goal in the 2026 World Cup.

While Rudi Garcia’s Belgian squad boasts veteran firepower—scoring 12 goals in their last 3 matches—their aging core of Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku will struggle against Spain’s relentless pressing and youthful energy.

Coming off a highly tactical 1-0 win over Portugal, La Roja’s superior possession play will systematically starve Belgium of the ball. Expect Spain to exploit tired Belgian legs late in the match, securing a decisive regulation victory.

Pick: Spain -0.5 (-160)

Spain vs Belgium Prediction July 10 Game Total Pick

Spain and Belgium will hit the under on the 2.5-goal total this Friday afternoon by engaging in a highly disciplined, risk-averse tactical battle.

Spain’s elite defensive line enters the quarterfinals boasting a flawless tournament resume of 5 straight clean-sheets, including their stifling 1-0 masterclass against Portugal. La Roja will dictate the tempo and deny Belgium possession, severely limiting opportunities for the Belgian front line.

Recognizing Spain’s suffocating press, Belgium is expected to adopt a compact, low-block defensive posture to avoid being stretched. With both sides prioritizing survival over open-field risks, expect a cagey affair that stays under the total.

Pick: Spain vs. Belgium Under 2.5 (+100)

World Cup Predictions July 10 Bonus Pick

Spain’s defense has been otherworldly in the 2026 World Cup. La Roja has yet to allow a goal in any of their 5 matches thus far. Because I’ve already given out Spain to win in regulation and the under, it follows that I believe that at least one team will be shut out in this game.

Betting “No” on both teams to score (at +100 odds) is the sharp play here. Belgium did score 3 goals against Senegal and 4 goals against the USA In the knockout stage, but Spain’s defense is far superior to both of those squads.

If anything, betting “No” on both teams to score presents a bit of a hedge against a 0-0 draw, while also cashing on a 1-0 or 2-0 Spain victory. I think Spain’s clean sheet streak extends to 6 matches on Friday. I’m taking “No” on both teams to score.

Pick: “No” on Both Teams to Score (+100)
