The runner-up in Group A, host nation Russia, takes on the winner of Group B, Spain, on the second day of group play from the 2018 World Cup. Spain won Group B despite collecting just five points, as they drew Portugal, 3-3, and Morocco, 2-2, with a win over Iran in between. Spain has not lost in their last 23 matches (winning 15 and drawing 8), going all the way back to a loss to Italy at Euro 2016. Russia dominated Saudi Arabia and knocked off Egypt in group play but took a shellacking from Uruguay in their Group A finale, which is how they ended up behind Uruguay in the group. They only posted three shots in that match, which matched the United States (vs Brazil, 1994) for the fewest shots by a host nation in a World Cup match. That match took place in a quarterfinal, though, while this match took place in group play. The moneylines reflect the disparity between these two teams; as you consider your World Cup betting on this match, check out our insights on both sides.
