Match Analysis
Spain are slight favourites over Belgium at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The Yamal-Pedri-Gavi-Rodri core gives Spain control and creativity, while Unai Simon's defence arrives with strong clean-sheet momentum. Belgium are confident after a 4-1 win over the USA and De Ketelaere's form is notable, but De Bruyne and Lukaku are being managed physically. Medium confidence.
