Cape Verde couldn't have asked for a tougher opening fixture in their first-ever match at the World Cup, as they take on one of the favourites to lift the trophy next month, Spain.
The World Cup and European champions are expected to dominate this game from beginning to end, and we have created a fantastic bet builder tip to mark what should be an action-packed 90 minutes of football.
Here is a breakdown of each of the selections that make up our bet builder tip for Spain vs Cape Verde...
Over 3.5 Goals - Over 3.5 goals
Over 3.5 goals were produced in four of Spain's six World Cup qualifiers, and their final warm-up game against Peru also witnessed over 3.5 goals. Cape Verde's only defeat during the qualifiers, against Cameroon, produced five goals, and the African's also played out a six-goal thriller with Libya in their penultimate match.
Anytime Goalscorer - Mikel Oyarzabal
Mikel Oyarzabal finished as the joint-top goalscorer for Spain during the qualifiers alongside Mikel Merino. Oyarzabal six times in six appearances, only failing to score in one qualifying match, and scored 15 times in La Liga for Real Sociedad.
Player To Be Carded - Kevin Pina
Kevin Pina picked up a single booking during the qualifiers; no Cape Verde player was shown more than one yellow card. The Krasnodar midfielder likes to get stuck in and was booked five times in the Russian Premier League this season.
Player 1+ Shots On Target - Dailon Rocha Livramento
Dailon Livramento finished as the top scorer for Cape Verde during the World Cup qualifiers, scoring four goals in eight appearances, but failed to score a single goal whilst on loan at Casa Pia in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
Over 9.5 Corners - Over
Over 9.5 total corner kicks were produced in four of Spain's six World Cup qualifying matches, and we're expecting Spain to attack in waves against Cape Verde and dominate the corner count.
