World Cup Betting Preview: Spain vs. Austria
  • Spain has -305 odds to beat Austria in regulation.
  • There are -850 odds for Spain to advance to the Round of 16.

LOS ANGELES – The Round of 32 continues on Thursday with Spain taking on Austria for a chance to advance to the Round of 16.

Legal sports betting sites sit heavily in favor of Spain winning both in regulation time and advancing. The line is split heavily, though, with -305 odds to win in regulation and -850 should the game need overtime.

Note: Gamelines on World Cup betting sites only count towards the 90 minutes of regulation time and any extra stoppage time. They do not include the two 15-minute overtime periods or penalty shootouts.

Spain Vs. Austria Regulation

  • Moneyline: Spain (-305) vs. Austria (+875), Draw (+420)
  • Spread: Spain -1.5 (+100)
  • Total: 2.5

Spain Vs. Austria To Advance

  • Spain: -850
  • Austria: +525

In a clear, dominant fashion, Spain took care of business in the group stage. Although they faced a 0-0 scare against Cape Verde to open things up, they returned to form with a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia and 1-0 against Uruguay.

Austria looked hot to start with a 3-1 win over Jordan, but has cooled since losing to Argentina 0-2 and a 3-3 draw against Algeria.

At first glance, Austria has a leaky defense, which could cause some issues here. They’ve allowed six goals in three games while Spain has three clean sheets. Not only does this push heavily towards Spain’s odds to win in regulation and advance, but also the even odds for them to cover the -1.5-goal spread.

Anytime Goal Scorer Odds

Leading the way for Spain in scoring are Mikel Oyarzabal with two, and Lamine Yamal and Alex Baena each with one. Below are each of their odds to score a goal against Austria.

Spain Anytime Goal Odds

  • Mikel Oyarzabal +100
  • Lamine Yamal +145
  • Álex Baena +290
