Spain will look to dominate possession as always

Spain is a side that works with skill and patience. They will pass the ball till a gap appears in the defense and then they will try to exploit it. In the process, they will monopolize all possession and force the opposition to defend with discipline. They had 71% possession against Uruguay, and you might see more such numbers against the likes of Italy and Brazil. Andres Iniesta and Xavi have been playing in top form, and disrupting their distribution will not be easy. Netherlands tried to play a very physical game in order to disturb the tempo and rhythm of their game in the 2010 final, but eventually failed. It will be interesting to see what tactics Italy and Brazil adopt.
