Martinez is fully prepared to take on familiar foes Spain
ROBERTO MARTINEZ feels confident familiarity will play into Portugal's hands when they take on European champions Spain in the World Cup last-16 tomorrow.
Spain are unbeaten across 90 minutes in their previous 35 matches with their last-32 win over Austria equalling the national record though their only defeat in that time was in a penalty shootout to Portugal in the Nations League in June 2025.
La Roja have already gone four matches without conceding a goal at this World Cup as they prepare for an 'Iberian Derby' in Dallas.
