Spain vs. Belgium Preview
Spain’s control of the middle, especially through Rodri, is the thing to watch.
Spain has played this tournament with a chokehold on games. It is averaging 65.6 minutes of possession per match, and Rodri is tied for the team lead with 7 chances created among the midfielders driving that control. When Spain gets its rhythm, it pins teams back with volume passing and keeps the ball in the final third long enough to turn pressure into clean looks.
Belgium has enough quality to push back there. Leandro Trossard has created 15 chances in the tournament, and Belgium’s attack has shown it can generate danger even without dominating the ball. If Belgium can break Spain’s midfield line and get into quicker attacking sequences, the match changes shape fast.
Watch the first stretch after kickoff. If Rodri is receiving cleanly and turning forward, Spain is likely dictating the terms.
