The Iberian Derby will be renewed on Monday in a Round of 16 match at the World Cup 2026 as Spain take on Portugal. These neighboring nations have faced off over 40 times previously, but this will be just their third FIFA World Cup meeting. Lamine Yamal and Spain won their first knockout stage match, 3-0, over Austria, while the Portuguese, behind a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, defeated Croatia, 2-1, in the Round of 32.

Top Portugal vs. Spain predictions

After examining Spain vs. Portugal from every angle, Eimer is leaning Over 2.5 total goals. These teams met just a year ago in the UEFA Nations League in which four total goals were scored, and their last World Cup matchup in 2018 saw six goals go on the scoreboard. Over the last four competitive meetings between Spain and Portugal, the matches have averaged 3.3 combined goals.

Both squads had underwhelming showings in their 2026 World Cup openers but have displayed their true form since, and that’s been reflected on the scoreboard. Each has seen an average of 2.7 total goals over their last three matches thanks to world-class playmakers like Lamine Yamal, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mikel Oyarzabal. Given the teams’ recent trends, and historical tendencies, Eimer sees more value in backing the Over. See Eimer’s best bets for Portugal vs. Spain at SportsLine, and you can bet the Over in Spain vs. Portugal at FanDuel here:
