Model probabilities (100,000 simulations)
From Prever's two-layer model: Elo results rating through March 2026 blended with each squad's June-2026 player market value.
The 2026 squads, by the numbers
Judged by the players actually going: each nation's registered 26-man squad, valued by the transfer market as of June 2026.
| Spain | Saudi Arabia | |
|---|---|---|
| Squad market value | $1.46 billion | $43 million |
| Model rating | 1762 | 1300 |
| Chance to reach the round of 32 | 98.1% | 29.3% |
| Chance to reach the round of 16 | 70.0% | 5.0% |
Why the model leans Spain: a 462-point rating gap and a 34× squad-value edge ($1.46 billion vs $43 million).
Spain vs Saudi Arabia head-to-head record
Historical context only — the model rates each team's overall form and current squad; past meetings between these two get no special weight.
Spain and Saudi Arabia have met 3 times: 3 Spain wins, 0 draws, 0 Saudi Arabia wins.
Their most recent meeting was 2012-09-07 (5-0). That was 13 years ago — a different generation of players, which is why the probabilities above are driven by today's squads and recent form, not this record.
