Summary
A betting preview projects Spain to open with a 2-0 win in Atlanta, with Mikel Oyarzabal tipped to score first after 27 goals in 47 games for club and country.
Six World Cup qualifying goals at one every 74 minutes strengthen that call, especially with Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal carrying fitness concerns that could leave Spain's star wingers on the bench.
Under 3.5 goals at -115 is the second main play because Cabo Verde conceded just 0.8 goals per 90 minutes in qualifying and six of their last seven matches finished with three goals or fewer.
Fabian Ruiz to record an assist at +300 rounds out the picks, with Spain expected to dominate possession and the PSG midfielder entering the tournament relatively fresh after only 21 starts in league and Champions League play.
The outlook contrasts with another pre-match call for Spain to clear 3.5 goals, while Cabo Verde arrive for their first World Cup game after finishing four points ahead of Cameroon in qualifying.
