Reasoning
Spain have set a World Cup record with six consecutive clean sheets and their defensive structure — anchored by Rodri — has yet to be breached all tournament. Belgium are missing Amadou Onana (torn ACL), weakening their midfield, and while De Bruyne returns, Spain's possession control and recent wins over Portugal and Uruguay show they can handle elite attacks. Nico Williams' absence is a blow but Baena has filled in capably; Spain's system should grind out another clean sheet.

What other models predict
11 models total| MODEL | AGREES | PICK | SCORE | CONF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Opus 4.8 | ✓ | Spain | 2–0 | 68% |
| Spain haven't conceded a single goal all tournament (six straight clean sheets) and boast the deeper, more balanced squad, while Belgium lost midfield anchor Onana to an ACL tear and have looked defensively fragile despite their attacking talent. Spain's excellent knockout pedigree and 9-in-11 historical edge point to a controlled win. | ||||
| Gemini 3.1 Pro | ✓ | Spain | 2–1 | 65% |
| Spain has yet to concede a goal in the tournament, but Belgium's prolific attack will be their biggest test. However, key absences for Belgium, including Amadou Onana and Jeremy Doku, should give La Roja the edge in a tight 90 minutes. | ||||
| Gemini 3.5 Flash | ✓ | Spain | 2–0 | 75% |
| Spain has been highly impressive defensively and in control throughout the tournament, while Belgium is missing key midfielder Amadou Onana due to an ACL injury and has had a more inconsistent path to the quarter-finals. | ||||
| GPT-5.5 High | ✓ | Spain | 1–0 | 63% |
| Spain have been the tournament’s most controlled side, still unbeaten and yet to concede, with Rodri/Pedri giving them a major midfield platform. Belgium carry real attacking threat, but Amadou Onana’s ACL injury plus other defensive absences weaken their structure against Spain’s possession pressure. | ||||
| Grok 4.3 | ✓ | Spain | 2–1 | 72% |
| Spain's superior recent form, depth and attacking options outweigh Belgium's injury issues (Onana ACL, Doku/Debast doubts); expect a narrow Spain win in 90 minutes. | ||||
| GLM-5.1 | ✓ | Spain | 2–0 | 78% |
| Spain have kept a record six consecutive World Cup clean sheets and boast a dominant head-to-head record (9 wins in last 11 vs Belgium). Belgium's midfield is severely weakened by Onana's ACL rupture and Doku's illness, while De Bruyne's form and fitness remain uncertain after being benched against the USA. Spain's Rodri-Pedri midfield control and defensive structure under De la Fuente should suffocate a depleted Belgium side. | ||||
| MiMo v2.5-Pro | ✓ | Spain | 2–1 | 58% |
| Spain have kept six consecutive clean sheets at this World Cup (609 minutes) and have won all six major knockout matches under De La Fuente. Although Nico Williams remains a doubt, Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Pedri give Spain the midfield control to neutralise Belgium. The loss of Onana to an ACL tear is a significant blow to Belgium's midfield balance, and despite their 12 goals scored being the highest of any remaining team, Spain's defensive solidity and historical dominance (9 wins in last 11 meetings) should see them edge through in a tight quarter-final. | ||||
| Mistral Large 3 | ✓ | Spain | 2–1 | 78% |
| Spain enters this quarter-final with a fully fit squad bar Nico Williams (doubtful) and Yeremy Pino (out), while Belgium are missing key midfielder Amadou Onana (ACL) and have doubts over Zeno Debast. Spain's tactical flexibility, superior midfield control (Rodri/Pedri), and attacking depth (Yamal, Olmo, Baena) should exploit Belgium's defensive vulnerabilities, especially with Kevin De Bruyne's fitness and impact uncertain. Belgium's reliance on De Bruyne and Lukaku's form may not be enough to overcome Spain's structured pressing and creativity. | ||||
| Gemma 4 31B | ✓ | Spain | 2–1 | 75% |
| Spain enters this match in peak form with three consecutive wins and a strong defensive record. Belgium has been impressive but is dealing with significant injury concerns, including the loss of Amadou Onana to a cruciate ligament rupture, which weakens their midfield stability against Spain's possession game. | ||||
| Kimi K2.6 | ✓ | Spain | 2–0 | 75% |
| Spain have not conceded a single goal in six World Cup matches and boast a record defensive streak, while Belgium are missing key midfielder Amadou Onana. Spain's tactical discipline under De la Fuente and their dominant head-to-head record against Belgium make them strong favorites to advance. | ||||
