Spain predicted lineup and team news vs Portugal | OneFootball

Spain take on Portugal in a high-profile Round of 16 clash at Dallas Stadium on Monday, with both sides aiming to secure a place in the quarter-finals, where they will meet the winner of the USA vs Belgium encounter.

Spain arrives in the knockout stage in excellent form and looks like one of the strongest contenders in the tournament. They topped Group H with seven points, recovering from an opening draw to record convincing wins over Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.

Their momentum carried into the Round of 32, where they produced a dominant 3–0 victory against Austria. Mikel Oyarzabal was the standout performer, scoring twice in a clinical display.

Spain team news

Spain faces some selection concerns ahead of this high-profile match. Both Nico Williams and Yeremy Pino are major doubts.

Williams is dealing with a groin and adductor problem, while Pino is struggling with a shoulder ligament injury. Neither player featured in the win over Austria and is unlikely to be available for this game.

In addition, Víctor Muñoz remains unavailable due to an ongoing thigh injury. Lamine Yamal and Alex Baena are expected to start on the flanks, providing support to central striker Mikel Oyarzabal, who has been in excellent scoring form with four goals so far in the tournament.

In midfield, De la Fuente is considering bringing in Fabián Ruiz ahead of Dani Olmo or Pedri to add more defensive balance and control, particularly to counter Portugal’s quick attacking transitions.

Spain predicted lineup

Possible Spain starting XI: Simon; Porro, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Baena; Oyarzabal

When will the match kick off?

The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Monday, 6th July.
