Teams · Group H
Spain
La Roja
Spain, 2010 world champions and recent European champions, play a possession-based style that has produced a new golden generation of midfielders and wingers. They are among the strongest sides on the planet.
Spain’s group path
Spain starts in Group H with Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Cabo Verde. They enter the group as the #1 team by MatchupSim power rating, which makes the finishing position especially important: first place, second place and a possible third-place route can each send them into a very different round-of-32 matchup.

Prediction angles to test
Start with a favorites run, then test one aggressive version where Spain wins Group H and one conservative version where they finish lower in the table. Comparing those paths shows whether their best chance comes from group control, a softer runner-up route, or surviving as one of the best third-place teams.
