Spain appears to have finally found some momentum after a disappointing start to World Cup 2026 and takes on Austria in a vital last-32 showdown on Thursday. Back-to-back wins saw La Roja top Group H as expected, while Austria was content to settle for a runner-up finish behind reigning world champion Argentina in Group J.

The pair square off at SoFi Stadium, and the winner of this matchup will progress to take on either Portugal or Croatia in a testing last-16 fixture. Spain is undefeated in its last five meetings with Austria, dating back to 1999, and has outscored Das Team 22-3 across those fixtures on aggregate.

Good thing for Ralf Rangnick that all the more major fitness concerns appear to be on Spain’s side of things. Austrian veterans David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic were pushed to their limits in the 3-3 draw with Algeria last time out, but should have enough recovery time to have a major impact in Inglewood.

Spain, meanwhile, is set to be without Crystal Palace winger Yeremi Pino after he picked up a collarbone injury. There’s a depth issue out wide, too, as Nico Williams and Victor Munoz each struggle with injuries, putting even more pressure on Barcelona ace Lamine Yamal to make the difference for his country here.
