It’s an all-Iberian clash at the Greenpoint Stadium in Cape Town and it could be a lot closer than the odds suggest. While Spain recovered from a Group H defeat against Switzerland to top the section, they still look vulnerable defensively, with Chile creating plenty of first-half chances against them on Friday before being reduced to ten men.

There’s also a big question mark over the form (or perhaps fitness) or Fernando Torres, something which could prove to be a hindrance as the Spanish look to add a world crown to their European one. Although David Villa has been excellent, it’s been as a left-sided attacker and he loses impact playing centrally.

Added to the fact that Portugal haven’t conceded a goal in this tournament and were the better team against Brazil in their final Group G game. With Cristiano Ronaldo pulling the strings, the only downside to Carlos Queiroz’s team is that they don’t have enough firepower to probably go all the way.

PREDICTION: PORTUGAL +0.5 @ 1.80 with bet365
