Ladbrokes' daily World Cup accumulator: Spain and USA tipped to win on day 26

With two of the outright favourites going head-to-head in Texas, the Round of 16 has drawn up one of the most intriguing matchups of the summer, as Spain take on a Portugal side looking to get their hands on the World Cup trophy for the very first time - but we think this is the end of the road for them this time around.

We are backing BTTS in this one, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Co possessing the quality to become the first team to score a goal against Spain at the 2026 World Cup - but as the European champions showed in their Round-of-32 win over Austria, they can be impossible to stop when they find their groove.

Our experts think a first quarter-final appearance since 2010 is on the cards for Luis de la Fuente's Spaniards, who will beat Portugal inside 90 minutes - even if their defence is breached for the first time this summer.

Co-hosts USA have already won more games at the 2026 World Cup than they managed in their last two tournaments combined, and in front of a roaring, expectant home crowd, we're tipping Mauricio Pochettino's men to see off Belgium and qualify for the quarter-finals.

Whether it's inside 90 minutes, after extra time, or even thanks to a penalty shootout, we're backing the USMNT to reach the last eight for just the third time in their history, with their only defeat so far coming in something of a dead rubber against already-eliminated Turkey.

Unbeaten Belgium are no mugs, overturning a two-goal deficit to dump out Senegal last week, but with USA playing with such unprecedented confidence, our experts are tipping the hosts to get the job done in Seattle.
