Score £100 in free bets with Spreadex ahead of Spain vs Cape Verde

European champions Spain enter the first 48-team World Cup as one of the favourites. They face one of the many tournament debutants, Cape Verde, in a true David vs Goliath tie to kick off Group H.

Ahead of one of the more unique group stage fixtures, fans can load up with extra bets to back the favourites – or the underdog. Spreadex are offering new customers the chance to net £100 in free bets. All you need to is set up an account and place your first £10 bet.

Spain look every bit as strong as the side that swept all before them at Euro 2024, but will be without Lamine Yamal for at least their first, if not their first two games here. Still, you’d expect the Catalans to have way too much for Cape Verde. Mikel Oyarzabal, having scored the winner in the final two years ago, is now their starting striker in what is a fluid system with several crafty playmakers.

Cape Verde topped their qualifying group ahead of Cameroon – a nation with a rich World Cup history – and became one of the smallest ever nations to reach the finals. Their population of around 525,000 would make it smaller than the biggest six cities in Spain! Dailon Livramento was the hero in their decisive game against Eswatini – he plays his club football in Portugal with Casa Pia.

Net even more value with Spreadex

All you need to do to cash in on Spreadex’s offer is sign up, via our link, and place a £10 bet on who you think will win the World Cup. 

As soon as your qualifying wager is made, you will instantly receive a £10 free fixed odds bet, a £10 free Total Goals football spread bet, and a £10 free Supremacy football spread bet.

Even better, you will then land a further £10 free fixed odds bet for every single match your chosen nation wins during the tournament, up to a maximum of seven wins.

The start of another run to glory for Spain?

While these games may look lopsided on paper, when they take place in the tournament itself – on neutral territory, at the end of a long club season – they can sometimes surprise. The bookies believe, however, that this Spain side is simply too good and will have no problem suffocating Cape Verde.

• Spain to win and over 2.5 goals
• Spain to win 3-0 or 4-0

The timing of the first goal may be crucial as to the type of game we’ll see. If Spain get ahead early, it could be a very sobering introduction to tournament football for the Islanders.
