How to Watch Spain vs. Austria in the World Cup Round of 32

The reigning European champions, Spain, are eager to regain their World Cup momentum as they face a gritty Austria team that scraped through with a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer. Spain topped Group H but showed inconsistency: opening with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, then demolishing Saudi Arabia 4-0 and edging out Uruguay 1-0.

Spain’s past World Cup success dates back to their 2010 victory, yet they have exited in the round of 16 in both 2018 and 2022, losing to Russia and Morocco respectively. Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain with two goals, supported by Lamine Yamal.

Austria's Road to the Knockouts

Austria secured second place in Group J after a chaotic 3-3 draw with Algeria, thanks to Sasa Kalajdzic's late equalizer deep into stoppage time. Their last World Cup appearance was in 1998, ending at the group stage, with their best finishes being fourth in 1934 and third in 1954.

Marko Arnautovic has scored twice for Austria, while Konrad Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer provide strength in midfield. They hope to pull off an upset in this match.
