WORLD CUP GROUP H: The Ultra previews SPAIN v SAUDI ARABIA with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
🏆 World Cup 2026 🏆
🇪🇸 Spain v Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
5pm The eyes of the footballing world turn to Group H again as pre-tournament favourites Spain are back in action on WORLD CUP 2026 Betdaq Betting Exchange! . Spain have already produced the shock of the 2026 World Cup after being held to a 0-0 draw in their opener against Cape Verde. They started that game trading 1.11; it could probably go down as one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history to be honest. Obviously the fallout was massive given the number of stars they have, and then being pre-tournament favourites too. This is a very similar fixture; again exceptionally short in the market in a game that most football fans fully expect them to win.
Spain are trading as short as 1.14 with Saudi Arabia 25.0 and the draw is 11.5 at the time of writing. After what we saw from Spain, you wouldn’t exactly be rushing to include them in your weekend Acca here as such a short price. In fairness to Spain, they finished the game with an xG of 3.19 so they created more than enough to win the game, but that was a game they should be winning 5-0 or 6-0 to be honest. 27 shots, 74% possession, 92% pass accuracy, and absolutely nothing to show for it. Spain hit the bar, were repeatedly denied by a heroic goalkeeping display, and even sending on Lamine Yamal from the bench couldn’t find a way through. It’s the kind of result that completely changes the complexion of a group that was supposed to be a procession, and suddenly Luis de la Fuente’s side have gone from coasting through Group H to needing victory here just to avoid a real scramble for points on the final day.
For Cape Verde, that point is simply the greatest result in their history. You could say that they have given Saudi Arabia the blueprint here too given this is a very similar game. Cape Verde sat deep, stayed extremely compact, and refused to be drawn out of their defensive shape no matter how much territory Spain enjoyed; that’s a method Saudi Arabia, who are hardly blessed with attacking riches themselves, could look to borrow some lessons from here, accepting they won’t have the ball and making absolutely sure they make Spain’s life as uncomfortable as possible in the final third. I do feel Spain need an early goal; especially for confidence reasons. Surely the goal for Saudi Arabia is to get to half-time at 0-0 and go from there.

This has to be a game for small stakes. Saudi Arabia’s own draw with Uruguay was a superb result in its own right. Mohammed Al-Owais was excellent in goal, and there’s clearly a togetherness and work ethic in this group that will give them belief coming into this game. Beat Cape Verde in the final round and they’ll fancy their chances of reaching the knockout stage for the first time since 1994. The handicap is set at 2.5, and Spain are trading 2.04 to cover that. It’s hard to see Spain repeating what happened in the first match twice, but I’d like to see them start taking their chances before committing to backing them. Saudi Arabia won’t see much of the ball here as they look to defend, and Both Teams Not To Score looks a nice option at 1.44 for small stakes.
The Ultra Says:
One point win Both Teams Not To Score at 1.44 with BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE.
