Top Spain vs. Austria predictions
After examining Spain vs. Austria from every angle, Eimer is leaning Under 2.5 total goals (+106). Eimer sees Spain as being the much more talented side, but hasn’t played at their best yet. Austria, meanwhile, are taking part in the World Cup for the first time since 1998 and have been one of the more exciting teams so far.
“This is one of the harder to predict Round of 32 matches for me,” Eimer said. “If Spain was playing how they should be playing it would be easy, but right now it’s a coin-flip of which Spain side shows up.” With all of the uncertainties entering the match, Eimer is taking the Under.
