Spain come into this World Cup match in mixed form. They have one win in their last five games, a narrow 1-0 victory, but have also lost two and drawn two in that run, including a recent heavy 4-0 defeat. Their recent matches have generally been low-scoring affairs. Austria, meanwhile, are struggling. They've lost their last two games, conceding three goals in each defeat, and their recent match was a high-scoring 3-3 draw, suggesting their defence is very open.

Given Spain's shaky recent results and Austria's poor defensive form, this match looks like it could be a close but open contest. Spain have been defensively solid in some recent games but are not scoring freely, while Austria are leaking goals. Based on the teams' current shape, a draw or a narrow win for Spain seems the most likely outcome, as their more organised defence gives them a slight edge over an Austria side that is struggling to keep opponents out.
