The read
Spain will dominate possession but struggle to quickly break down Cabo Verde's deep defensive lines without their most dynamic wingers from the kickoff. Cabo Verde is on a streak of 180 scoreless minutes and has proven highly disciplined at maintaining clean sheets, while Spain's own defense allowed a microscopic 0.3 goals per match in qualifying. This matchup sets up as a slower, low-scoring affair that is highly likely to stay under the 3.5-goal threshold.
