Their central defense still relies on Pepe, 35, who will work with 36-years-old Bruno Alves or 34-years-old Rocha Fonte. When faced with high paced offensive teams, this may prove fatal.<\/p>\n<p>Portugal defeated Algeria 3-0 easily after a goalless draw in Belgium in early June. They dominated the world cup qualification, but they won only 3 out of 7 games and they failed to defeat the United States, the Netherlands, Tunisia, and Belgium.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3070\" src=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3-1030x577.jpg\" alt=\"2018 World Cup Group B PORTUGAL VS SPAIN Prediction\" width=\"1030\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3-1030x577.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3-705x395.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3-450x252.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-3.jpg 1270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spain also dominated the World Cup qualifying matches, losing just two points in ten games and five points ahead of Italy and other heavyweight teams. In these ten games they scored 36 goals in total. Theyhavebeenunbeaten for two years since the 2016 UEFA European Football Championship.<\/p>\n<p>The players under Spain&#8217;s coach, Julen Lopetegui Argote, have performed impressively in the world cup qualification, but they have only lost one in the past five matches. They scored at least 2 goals in 15 games in the last 20 games. However, Spain still has its concerns. Just one day before the World Cup, the Spanish coach announced that he will coach Real Madrid Club de F\u00fatbol after the World Cup. This may cause a shake in the team.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3071\" src=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4-1030x552.jpg\" alt=\"2018 World Cup Group B PORTUGAL VS SPAIN Prediction\" width=\"1030\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4-1030x552.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4-768x412.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4-705x378.jpg 705w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4-450x241.jpg 450w, https:\/\/ibetmys88.com\/en-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-World-Cup-Group-B-PORTUGAL-VS-SPAIN-Prediction-4.jpg 1267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Portugal lost three goals against the Netherlands and two goals to Tunisia recently.
