Spain and Belgium meet in an all important World Cup quarterfinal match on Friday at the Los Angeles Stadium as both teams looks to secure their matchup against France in the semifinal.
Both teams are still unbeaten in this world cup. Luis De La Fuente’s men comes on the back of an impressive win against Portugal while Rudi Garcia’s team thrashed the host country USA 4-1 in their Round of 16 fixture. Find out their starting XI for this match below.
Fabian Ruiz comes in place of Pedri and thats the only change that De La Fuente made today.
Spain playing XI: Simon; Porro, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Ruiz; Yamal, Olmo, Baena; Oyarzabal
Garcia made two changes as Amadou Onana is out of the tournament due to his injury in the last match which sees Youri Tielemans coming back behind Kevin De Bryune, who starts this match.
The other change is Jeremy Doku in the starting XI today as Dodi Lukebakio makes way for him.
Belgium playing XI: Courtois; Castagne, Ngoy, Mechele, De Cuyper; Raskin, Onana; Lukebakio, Tielemans, Trossard; De Ketelaere
Both teams are unbeaten in this World Cup and are on a long unbeaten streak in all matches as well. But Spain definitely holds the upper hand and they are the only team in this edition to keep clean sheets in all the matches. We say 2-0 to Spain with Lamine Yamal on the scoresheet again.
