Spain left it late to see off Portugal in the World Cup last 16 and now battle Belgium tonight for a place in the semi-finals.

The European champions have yet to concede at the tournament and are heavy favourites to make the Red Devils their next victims.

But the unpredictable Belgians have scored 13 times on the march to the last eight so they could be the team that finally breaches that Spanish defence.

Spain vs Belgium top betting tips

Belgium impressed in their 4-1 rout of the USA and they were no doubt fired up by the storm over Folarin Balogun's overturned suspension.

But they were lucky to see off Senegal in the last 32 and the Africans should have been out of sight before Rudi Garcia's side claimed a 3-2 comeback win.

So Spain look worthy red-hot favourites for a win inside 90 minutes on the World Cup betting apps, although you can boost those odds to 20/21 at Bet365 by adding on over 1.5 goals.

Lamine Yamal will be the biggest threat for Spain and he's evens for over 1.5 shots on target, a bet that has landed in three of his last four games.

Maxim De Cuyper is likely to be the man tasked with marking the Barcelona star and the Brighton full-back is 5/4 to commit over 1.5 fouls.

Waterford vs St Patrick's Athletic

St Partrick's Athletic can move up to second in the League of Ireland Premier Division if they can see off struggling Waterford tonight.

The Pats sit third, nine points behind leaders Shamrock Rovers, but are bang in the title hunt as they have two games in hand.

They're up against a Waterford side who sit second bottom of the table so it's not a massive surprise to see St Partrick's Athletic as 4/7 hot favourites with Bet365.

But Waterford's form has picked up of late, with three wins in their last four, so this may not be as cut and dried as the bookies think.

And if you back the home side in the double chance the odds are pretty decent at 6/5.

St Pat's have also won three of their last four so both sides have their tails up. That makes me think we'll see goals at both ends and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 5/4 at Bet365.

Dundalk vs Drogheda United

The other clash in Ireland tonight sees fourth-placed Dundalk host a Drogheda side who are fighting for their lives at the other end of the table.

Drogheda currently sit third bottom but they're just two points ahead of both Waterford and Sligo Rovers in a relegation dogfight.

Dundalk will be looking to break into the top three to claim a European place and they have two games in hand on Bohemians, who are eight points ahead.

So they will be desperate for three points as well and Bet365 make the home side 3/5 favourites, which seems fair given Drogheda have gone eight games without a win.

The last three meetings have ended in draws, though, and that suggests this should be a tight game.

A stalemate tonight pays 29/10 but I'm playing it safer and going for the half-time draw at 6/4.

Super singles

  • Maxim De Cuyper over 1.5 fouls 5/4 Bet365
  • BTTS and over 2.5 goals in Waterford vs St Patrick's Athletic 5/4 Bet365
  • HT draw in Dundalk vs Drogheda United 6/4 Bet365
