Spain are ranked second in the world and wouldn't have expected to be playing in this first knock-out round. They finished second in their group after losing to Belgium who are the lowest ranked team in this tournament at 78. That loss meant the Spanish go into this round and know if they can get past Senegal they will take on Canada with a possible semi-final against Australia which is better than having to play the almighty Americans in the last four if they get that far. Spain had beaten Japan and Puerto Rico before the surprise defeat by Belgium who they had defeated in June of this year. 

It's been a great World Cup for Africa with Senegal in the first knock-out round and Nigeria in the quarter-finals. Senegal are ranked 17th in the world and predictably started this tournament off with a defeat by the defending champions the USA. Their crunch match was against Latvia and they trailed their opponents by two points going into the final quarter before getting an important one-point win. They lost in their last game to China who have already reached the last eight. Spain should be able to get the win in this match and the tip is for over 128.5 points to be scored in this match.
