Spain vs Cape Verde Bet Builder Tips
Over 4.5 Goals
Spain arrive at this World Cup as one of the most prolific sides in international football. La Roja scored 19 unanswered goals in their first five qualifying games. They set a new record for goals scored at a single European Championship, netting 15 times across seven games at Euro 2024.
Cape Verde, meanwhile, lack a reliable goalscorer and carry a significant drop-off in quality between their starting XI and the bench. Spain’s midfield trio of Pedri, Rodri and Fabián Ruiz will dominate possession and create chance after chance. Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams both returned to full training this week and could feature. Even without them, Spain boast Ferran Torres, Álex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal as attacking options. Cape Verde rely heavily on set pieces and direct counters. Spain’s press will limit those opportunities severely.
Mikel Oyarzabal – First goalscorer
Oyarzabal enters this tournament in the finest form of his international career. He has scored or assisted in 12 consecutive starts for Spain – a remarkable streak by any measure. His record under Luis de la Fuente reads 19 goals and eight assists in 32 appearances. Only Erling Haaland has a better combined goals-and-assists per-90 rate among European players in that same period.
Oyarzabal starts as Spain’s first-choice striker and will likely face a Cape Verde defence that has never played at this level before. He scored six goals in qualifying, finishing joint-top scorer. His intelligent movement between the lines makes him almost impossible to track. With Yamal and Williams potentially eased in from the bench, Oyarzabal carries the greatest goal threat from the off.

Jamiro Monteiro to be booked
Jamiro Monteiro is Cape Verde’s most important creative player and carries a significant disciplinary record. He has accumulated 54 yellow cards across his club career, including two yellows and a red in the Eredivisie this season alone. He commits over one foul per 90 minutes at club level and operates in the tight central spaces where Spain’s midfield will dominate. Monteiro will need to work extremely hard off the ball to disrupt Spain’s rhythm.
That pressing and tackling, against a team of Spain’s quality, increases the likelihood of a rash challenge. He also drifts wide and drops deep frequently, meaning he covers a lot of ground and engages in more duels than most midfielders. Spain’s Pedri and Fabián Ruiz will draw fouls naturally in central areas. Monteiro, as Cape Verde’s primary ball-winner and creator, will be under constant pressure.
