Best FREE Football Predictions- MLS

MLS TOP PICKS

Hello again. We have few more football games for you, which we strongly believe will be winners for later Saturday night. This time we are going to USA and will give you our top predictions for the Major League Soccer(MLS) matches. The odds that we choose are little low but we believe they are very safe. If you decide to put them in a parlay limit yourself with two or three games.

Seattle Sounders FC- LA Galaxy ✅

Over 2.5 goals in the match @ 1.57 (3 points)

Seattle Sounders are the best team in the league right now. They won thier last 5 games and scored atleast 2 goals in their last 4 games at home. Against LA Galaxy they are undeafeted in their last 5 games. The away team here has a lot of problems in their squad- 4 first team players will be out(the brothers dos Santos, Ciani and Alessandrini) and it looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovich has an impossible task ahead of him to outscore the whole team of Seattle. Galaxy had score at least 2 goals in 10 of their last 11 matches. This is why we choose the over 2.5 goals here, but we also believe that Sounders will win the game. Home win and over 2.5 goals @2.1✅ is very possible result of the game.

Profit: 2.71 points

Philadelphia Union- New York City FC ❌

Over 2.5 goals in the match @1.44 (3 points)

The good news for New York is that David Villa is back in the team. He is one of the best strikers in the league and will definately be in the middle of all the attacks. Both teams scores a lot of goals in general and the clashes between them are very high scoring. The away team have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 matches against the Union but on the other side New York have conceded at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 away matches. Philadelphia are without Mark McKenzie and Fabrice-Jean Picault- two of their top players. Philadelphia have conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches. We expect a high scoring game from both teams and with Villa back you may also try the away win here which has very high value- 2.8.❌ Away win and over 3.5 goals is our risky pick for this game @6.0.❌

Loss: 3 points

Houston Dynamo- Real Salt Lake ❌

Houston Dynamo to win @ 1.5 (3 points)

We are taking the home team here. Too many games already for Houston without a win ( 4 games) and now it is the perfect time for them to stop that. Houston Dynamo are without A.J. DeLaGarza, Mac Steeves and Juan Cabezas through injury, which a key plaers but one very inmportant player is back for them- Philippe Senderos.The former Arsenal centre-back has incredibly scored four goals in six games for Houston this season. On the other side Real Salt Lake are without 7 players which are our for a long term. They also played on Thursday and probably will be a lot of rotations in the starting eleven. Salt Lake have lost 9 of their last 11 away matches and they conceded at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 11 games. Home team to win with a clean sheet @ 3.0❌ is a very good bet here also.

Loss: 3 points

These are our top 3 selections for the MLS matches this weekend.

We will give you also a few leans:

Vancouver Whitecaps Vs New York Red Bulls - Both teams to score @1.53 ✅

Montreal Impact Vs Chicago Fire- Home win @1.6✅

Atlanta United- Columbus Crew - Both teams to score @1.53✅

Best FREE Football Predictions- EPL, La Liga, Serie A

EPL, LA LIGA, SERIE A-TOP PICKS

Hello again and welcome to our site. We appreciate your time and will be very happy to help you with your weekly football picks. We know that is very early to start posting our best predictions, but we will do our best to give you the winners for this round. This weekend we will have a few games from EPL, La Liga and Seria A and we hope that will bring you some winning tickets. All the games we suggest to be played like singles. Also, we will share our best parlay selection.

We will start with the English Premier League:

Everton-Southampton ✅

Everton to win @ 1.9 (3 points)

Everton played a good match against Wolverhampton in the first leg and they were very close to the win( they were with a man down since the first half which is admirable). The reckless tackle of Phil Jagielka put Everton in a tough position but the whole game they played like even with the Wolves. Richarlison showed a great form and he will be the main threat in the match. Sigurdsson was substituted early in the last game and now he will be definitely ready to show his best. Everton is undefeated in their last 12 home matches against Southampton in all competitions. Take Everton they are the better team.

Profit: 2.7 points

Chelsea-Arsenal ✅

Chelsea to win @ 1.8(3 points)

Chelsea won with a classic result against Huddersfield and definitely had no problems with controlling the game. Hazard started from the bench and was saved for the upcoming clash against "The Gunners". Arsenal performance was horrible(I probably can use stronger words to describe them, but since it was their first game and they played against the champions I will hold for now). Arsenal was one of the worst teams away from home last year and it doesn't look like they learn from their mistakes. This is probably the worst schedule for Unai Emery that he can wish for(next game is another derby against West Ham and he better figure out how to win it, because against Chelsea it will be tough). I know it's a derby game but it's Chelsea time to take the win. Chelsea has drawn 5 of their last 6 matches against Arsenal in all competitions and they are very motivated to punish Arsenal right now. The Blues are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home meetings, winning seven, so will fancy their chances of putting another three points on the board here.

Profit: 2.4 points

The Second League we will stop by is La Liga:

Girona- Real Valladolid

Girona to win @ 1.75(3 points) (2 points)

Here we are taking the home team again who made a very remarkable campaign last year(they manage to win against Real Madrid at home and prove that they are a team who has a lot to offer). They lost their last 4 matches at the end of the season, but at this time they were already saved and the Europe spots were too far away from them. It's a new season now and Eusebio side is ready to go back on track and what the best way to do it against Valladolid(Girona have won their last 3 home matches against Real Valladolid in all competitions).Valladolid lost their top goalscorer last season, Jaime Mata, and without a stellar replacement, it is looking tough for the away side to start the new season in positive fashion on the road.

Loss: 2 points

Real Betis- Levante

Real Betis to win @ 1.70(2 points)

One of the best home teams last season, Betis is ready for a new challenge. Betis have only lost at home in league action in 2018 against Real Madrid and Barcelona. Aside from those two giants, Setien's side guards an unbeaten record against the rest of the division this calendar year. Real Betis have won their last 5 matches against Levante in all competitions and they are ready to make it 6 in a row.

Loss: 2 points

Villarreal- Real Sociedad

Villarreal to win @ 2.05(1 point) ❌

Great news for Villarreal after one of their favourites- Santi Cazorla is back on the pitch and fir to play. This will be a special day and we believe that the win in this game will be the perfect way for him to restart his career after the horrible injuty he suffered. Villarreal is undefeated in their last 6 home matches against Real Sociedad in all competitions and Real Sociedad have failed to win 14 of their last 15 away matches. Take Villarreal but don't go crazy on your bet.

Loss: 1 point

And of course, Serie A where Saturday will be a historic day:

Chievo-Juventus

Juventus-Juventus (Half Time-Full time) @1.72 (4 points) ❌

The debut of Cristiano Ronaldo for the Italian champions will be an extraordinary event. Will he score a hattrick in his first game? Probably not, but for sure all the fans are expecting from him to start with a goal. Juventus look so strong and it will not be a surprise if they forget about the Italian football style with a strong defence and dangerous counter attacks and go all in the attack. Ronaldo, Dybala and Costa are expected to start- these 3 players are so fast and posses such technical skills that it will be very hard for Chievo defence to keep on. Juventus have won 11 of their last 12 matches against Chievo in all competitions. "The Old Lady" have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 matches against Chievo in all competitions. Nothing but a win here will be a failure.

Loss: 4 points

These are our picks for the weekend!

We also have a parlay for you:

Leicester-Wolverhampton over 1.5 goals @ 1.33 ✅

Celta Vigo-Espanyol Over 1.5 goals @ 1.33 ✅

Cardiff-Newcastle Over 1.5 goals @1.5 ❌

Total 2.65(1 point) ❌

CROATIA

11th July 2018 Luzhniki Stadium

Day

Hour

Minute

Second

ENGLAND

England won the World Cup in 1966 and have reached the semi-final once since that success. They lost to Germany on penalties in the 1990 World Cup semi-final and will be hoping to avoid that fate in this game. This English team is different, they already managed to win on penalties(against Colombia) and in the quarter-final match against Sweden, they showed amazing defence and tactical game by winning 2-0. Their strength in the air is phenomenal and now they are one of the favourites to win the cup. Gareth Southgate's "Three Lions" are now undefeated in 15 of their last 16 fixtures and they are very effective at set-pieces, with 8 of their goals coming from dead-ball situations. England has scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against Croatia in all competitions. Kyle Walker, Dele Alli and Ashely Young recovered from minor injuries, Jordan Henderson has a slight hamstring injury but England are confident he will recover in time to feature.

CROATIA

Croatia continues to deliver on the world stage after knocking out the host nation Russia in the quarter-finals. After conceding just one goal in the group stages where they swept aside Argentina, Nigeria and Iceland, the "Blazers" then had to go through the lottery of the penalties kicks TWICE to reach the Semi-Finals. Against the tough defence of Denmark and Russia, Croatia showed that they can always find a way to the goal and will never give up. 20 years ago in France, they made the Semi-final for the first time in their history, now is time for them to prove they are capable of going even further. Croatia has scored 10 goals and conceded 4 and, they are undefeated in their last 9 matches. The "Blazers" has seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches against England in all competitions. The big missing name in the team will be Sime Vrsaljko who is out for the rest of the tournament because of an injury. Subasic and Lovren both missed training at the start of the week but are expected to recover in time to face England

PREDICTION

England will have the advantage in the game, they are the younger and the faster team. Their main goal will be not to let Croatia go into the box and shoot, their defence looks way better than the "Blazers". Pickford showed that he is a world-class goalkeeper and he can save his team at any time. The strong play in the air from Kane, Maguire, Stones and the rest of the team will be the key to win this match. Croatia has more experienced players in the middle- Modric and Rakitic showed they are the best duo in the tournament. Perisic and Rebic will need to find as many empty spaces as they can on the wings so they can help Mandzukic with the attack. Subasic has become a national hero after the saves he made in the extra in the 2 previous games. How will Croatia perform against England? Will they have any strength left after the two games against Denmark and Russia where they had to play 120 minutes? How will they stop Englands killing crosses? We are about to see another very tactical game and we hope to see some goals as well.

England to win (3 points at 2.3)

Higest scoring half -Second (2 points at 2.2)

Over 9.5 corners (2 points at 2.0)

Over 4 cards in the game (2 points at 2.0)

First Goal Scorer- Harry Kane (1 point at 4.2)

France-Belgium FIFA World Cup Semi-finals Top FREE Predictions

FRANCE

BELGIUM

10th July 2018 Saint-Petersburg Stadium

Day

Hour

Minute

Second

FRANCE

After the amazing results against Argentina and Uruguay now its time for France to face their biggest challenge in the tournament-Belgium and their Golden Generation. Les Bleus were little lucky in the quarter-finals because they didn't have to worry about covering Cavani, who got injured. France didn't need to step it up a gear to secure a 2-0 win but they were far from convincing in the victory. Against Argentina, they showed how dangerous their counter-attacks can be and even they are the second youngest team in the tournament, they are capable of comebacks. In these 2 games, they scored 6 goals which are the best performance of any of the 4 teams left in the tournament. 3 of the 5 games they finished with a clean sheet and only Australia(from a penalty) and Argentina managed to score against their defence. France has won 6 of their last 7 matches in WC. Mbappe and Griezmann will be the players who will be expected to score again (6 of the last 9 goals are on their names).

BELGIUM

The Red Devils and their Golden Generation is showing the best football in the tournament. After the amazing comeback against Japan, they showed everybody that even Brazil is not good enough for them. They are the only team who won all their 5 games in the tournament and they are leading in goal scoring- 14 goals(for now). Hazard, Lukaku and De Bruyne are the best-attacking trios and now they have to find out how to score against the young and fast defence of France. Belgium has scored at least two goals in all but one game(against England when they made 9 changes in their starting line up) in this competition. Belgium will be without the suspended Thomas Meunier who picked up a yellow card against Brazil. Thomas Vermaelen may come into the team at right-back but Roberto Martinez could make a tactical switch and revert to three at the back.

PREDICTION

This should be a very entertaining World Cup semi-final. Both teams are full of great players and if we get an early goal, there could be many more to follow. We believe that both teams will show their best in this match. The problems for Belgium will come from the right wing where Meunier will be missing and we probably see more attacks from that side, Mbappe could be seen to go on that wing most of the time during the attacks and use his amazing speed. Umtiti and Pogba are the players in the French side who may be in trouble in this game- playing against Lukaky and Fellaini, two very physical strong players may have a bad outcome of the game as well. Hazard and De Bruyne will be playing against the Pavard and Hernandez(2 good defenders, but with not enough experience in big games like this one) We expect the game to be over 2.5 goals and both teams to score, as well we think we will see a lot of free kicks and corner kicks in which both teams showed that they are very good in the air. The last time these two teams faced off against each other at the World Cup Finals was Mexico 1986 in the third-place playoff. On that occasion, France prevailed by winning 4-2 in extra time, after the first 90 minutes yielded at 2-2.

Both teams to score (4 points at 1.77) ❌

Over 2.5 goals in the game (2 points at 2.1) ❌

FRANCE

BELGIUM

10th of July 2018, Saint-Petersburg Stadium

Day

Hour

Minute

Second

Fifa Ranking

France: 7

Belgium: 3

Better placed team to win*:

Here we are very close to a situation of absolute equality. It's really hard to separate the two sides who were able to beat Brasil, Argentina, England, a very strong Japan side and Uruguay. Maybe it's too early for this young French team to hit his peak powers (which, given the talent they possess, could be something like the Death Star of modern international football) but the facts are there - WC semi-final for the finalists of the Euro 16. The "golden generation" of Belgium should feel more pressure because of the feeling that this - here and now - is their last chance to prove what they are really made of. Missing their only real wing-back in the squad, Thomas Meunier, who is proving to be decisive with his vision of the game and solidity at the back, maybe the one thing that is enough to break the Belgium hearts. France should be better placed to win, with less pressure on their shoulders and no missing key players.

Fear Factor**:

No. The one side is coming in this clash of titans on the back of impressive results against Uruguay and Argentina. And the other contender for a place in the final just never said "We give up" when they were 2-0 down against Japan and after that crushed Neymar and Co. with another impressive game. Both sides brimming with confidence, this has the potential to be the best football match of the whole tournament.

France:

coach: Didier Deschamps

captain: Hugo Lloris

missing players: Umtiti (doubtful)

Belgium:

coach: Roberto Martinez

captain: Eden Hazard

missing players: T. Meunier

MATCH PREDICTIONS:

France is at the semi-final without actually playing at their potential best. That is no brainer. Just they are so good individually. Mbappe is the man of the day and Griezmann is decisive without playing really well. Pogba is definitely below par and only the name on his back keeps him in the starting line-up. Deschamps said that "France won't be surprised by Belgium'. But the truth is that France is the team who can not surprise their opponent. They are going in a 4-3-3 formation with their usual team and the goal is to run and hit long balls behind the defence line with Mbappe and Griezmann the targets. Giroud could be the secret weapon with his masterclass one-touch play. Set piece situations are very important for Les Blues. The truth is that France conceded 3 times against arguably the worst Argentina team in the history of the World Cup and yes, they didn't concede against Uruguay who were without 50% of their lethal attacking talent, let's not forget. Using the wings and spaces around the lines could be the solution against the three-man Belgium defence. Missing Meunier is without a doubt the most worrying fact for Martinez. This could change his plans and force him to play with 4 at the back. At the opposing end, he should stick to his best solutions - more balls to Hazard and as much as possible free role for De Bruyne. Belgium is not shy of shooting long-distance and with deadly accuracy. Over 10.5 corner kicks looks likely. Everything could happen at this point of the tournament and if Kante is on top of his game France have the better chance. But if Hazard and De Bruyne are really part of the golden generation of Belgium - this could be their time to shine. We saw that if things are going badly for the Red Devils they have Plan B (or plan Fellaini). France didn't show us their Plan B because maybe they weren't tested enough by their oppositions to this point of the tournament but we don't know for sure if there IS plan B at all. That's why I think Belgium have what it takes and are going to play the final in Moscow. Man of the match performance for Eden Hazard.

And don't forget - ENJOY THE GAME!

ENGLAND

7th July 2018 Samara Arena

Day

Hour

Minute

Second

SWEDEN

Not many people predicted that Sweden and England will meet in the 1/4 Finals. Sweden is one of the best-organized team in the tournament! In 3 of their 4 games, they keep a clean sheet and only Germany managed to score against them and if it hadn't been for Toni Kroos' last-minute free-kick goal, Sweden would be undefeated. In every single game, they showed that they are a well-balanced team who can surprise you from any position. Their last win in the group stage against Mexico was more than impressive and the match against Switzerland they showed that they will not let anybody make a shot against Olsen( Switzerland had their best chance in the over time). Sweden has kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches in FIFA World Cup and they are ready to repeat their performance from 1994 when they reached the semifinals.

ENGLAND

The English outplayed Colombia for 90 minutes only to give up a match-tying goal in the overtime(the goal came from the only corner kick the Colombians got for the whole game). Now after the big favourites are gone- Brazil, Germany, Spain, Argentina etc.- England has the rarest chance to reach the final and who knows maybe finally win it. England does have a more talented starting XI then Sweden and many of the English players have played in similar high-profile matches previously. This year's Three Lions team isn't like ones from the past that failed at every corner. Gareth Southgate has instilled a new mindset and his young team is producing. The most important player is their captain- Harry Kane who is the favourite to win the golden boot. The Three Lions are undefeated in 14 of their last 15 matches in FIFA World Cup. England is starting to believe they can make the final even if the majority of the nation doesn't yet.

PREDICTION

The Battle of the North! This is probably the best name to describe this clash! They faced each other 2 times before in the World Cup and both games finished draw(1-1 and 2-2), the last 2 games between them finished with a lot of goals from both sides- 4:2 and 2:3 (1 win for both teams). Could we see another goal show between them? Probably not! We expect a very tactical game and a huge pressure in the middle. England has faster players on the wings and they will try to organize more attacks from there, in a meanwhile Sweden will depend on Forsberg and Ekdal to help Berg and Toivonen to surprise the defence of the Queen's favourites. Harry Kane and Andreas Granqvist will have an epic battle between them and we think the English Captain will find a way to prevail. Definitely, we will see a lot of fouls and a lot of free-kicks in the game. The cards in the game will be a problem because a lot of players are already booked and they will be in danger to miss the next game. England does not have a great record against Sweden in competitive matches, only winning one of the last eight games. This is the best draw England could have hoped for. They are so close to the World Cup semi-finals and have to take advantage.

England to win (3 points at 1.87)

First-half draw (2 points at 1.9)

Harry Kane to score (2 points at 2.05)

RUSSIA

Sbornaya was the team with the lowest rank in FIFA before the start of the tournament. They proved that these number cannot measure their true potential. They were one of the first team to qualify for the knock out stage after 2 wins against Saudi Arabia and Egypt(5-0 and 3-1). Against Uruguay, they were totally outplayed and lost with 3-0 and finished the group second. The match against Spain was one of the most dramatic games in the tournament- after scoring an own goal, Sbornaya put themselves together and strike back. The penalty was a fair call and Dzyba with his deadly shot brought them back to life. In the extra time, they showed amazing defence and put La Furia in a desperate situation- after more than a 1000 passes made in the whole game they still couldn't find a way to score a goal. The penalties were the culmination of the night. The Russian captain- Akinfeev showed De Gea how it is done! With two saves he became the hero of the whole nation. Even their own fans did not expect anything from the team but they have surpassed all expectations to reach the quarter-final of the tournament for the first time since playing as Russia in 1994.

CROATIA

After winning their group with 3 wins(for the first time in their history) Croatia had a very tough opponent in the 1/8 Finals. Denmark managed to hold them for the whole game and even Schmeichel saved a penalty 5 minutes before the end. In the lottery called "Penalties" Croatia showed more nerves and Ivan Rakitic scored the winner. Denmark defence managed to stop one of the best middle field lines in the tournament but they had no luck in the last part of the match. Now Croatia is looking for another historical performance after the one in 1998 in France when they reached the semifinals. They are the favourite in the match against Russia but if they let their guard down they will be in huge trouble. The whole Croatian team will be available for the match, only the left-back Ivan Strinic has problems after the last game but he is expected to start as well. "The Vatreni" are unbeaten in 3 matches against Russia in all competitions. Russia, meanwhile, will enter the quarter-finals without a clean sheet in their last three outings.

PREDICTION

Croatia will not repeat the mistake that Spain did. They saw what will happen if they are just passing the ball around the box and try to find an empty space to shot. The two genius in the middle- Modric and Rakitic will find a way to create a scoring opportunity for Madzukic or Perisic, and Rebic who is probably one of the most impressive players in the team, with his unlimited strength and amazing speed, will put the ball in the net. Russia will answer with strong attacks and in the middle of them will be Dzyuba- the big Russian who cannot be stopped! Semedov, Golovin and Cheryshev will try to put as much pressure and hope that Lovren and Vida will make mistake and let Dzyba on a clean position to score. It is very possible for both teams to score in this game and who knows maybe we will see another game in which the winner will be decided in the extra time. Croatia has a better side on paper, but Russia has already shown that counts for nothing. We expect another huge battle between two teams that may suffer from fatigue in the second half.

Croatia to win (3 points at 2.2)

Both teams to score (2 points at 2.2)

Over 2.5 goals (2 points at 2.9)

Total attempts on target Artem Dzyba over 0.5 (1 point at 1.75)

Fifa Ranking

Uruguay: 14

France: 7

Better placed team to win*:

France. If Cavani was playing, better placed for the win would be Uruguay

Fear Factor**:

No. It's obviously a very big occasion for both sides. Given the head-to-head matches, France has never won a single game in their 7 attempts. A very big miss for the South Americans is Edinson Cavani. This is a big relief for the French defence. On the other side - the world-class defence in the face of Godin and Gimenez are up against the teen sensation Mbappe and another world-class performer in Griezmann.

Uruguay:

coach: Oscar W. Tabarez

captain: Diego Godin

missing players: Cavani

France:

coach: Didier Deschamps

captain: Hugo Lloris

missing players: Matuidi

MATCH PREDICTIONS:

It was destined to be a tight affair between two very strong sides. More so now - when we know that E. Cavani is not playing. Expect a very compact defence wall from the South Americans, nothing like the Argentina defence who played like they met each other just before kick off. Oscar Tabarez will cut all the spaces in which Mbappe could run like the wind and hurt them. Counter-attacking is gonna be the main weapon for La Celeste. Uruguay is a very solid team which feel comfortable even when not on the ball. At the other end France like to keep possession just as much as they like to counter-attack. They could try on purpose to give the ball to the South Americans and provoke mistakes in their build-up play. We all, as football fans, want to see an open game with lots of goals at both ends but the logic suggests otherwise. Under 2.5 GOALS seems logical. This France squad conceded 3 times from this awful Argentina team so this means they are not so solid at the back, as the names of their defenders suggest. A narrow win for Uruguay should not surprise anyone. The spaces which France enjoy the most when attacking will not be existing today and they will find it extremely hard to break the Uruguayan wall given that one of their star man, Paul Pogba, is underperforming and against Argentina lost the ball at least 10 times in situations when he was not pressed like he would be today. Given the importance of the fixture and the teams involved, over 3.5 cards seem like a good bet.

BRAZIL

Brazil is proving with every single game why they were the favourites to win the tournament. With 3 wins and 1 draw, scoring 6 goals and conceded only 1(from a corner kick in their first game against Switzerland) Selecao is showing great form and football. With every single match, they are becoming more organized and more dangerous, Neymar has become more important in every game and midfielder Philippe Coutinho continues his claim for the tournament's Golden Ball. Tite's side has now remained unbeaten in 15 games (11 wins and 3 draws) and they kept a clean sheet in 8 of their last 9 matches. They also remain unbeaten in 10 games against European opponents (8 wins and 2 draws), conceding just three goals. The statistics are on the Selecao side but they have problems in the team which may reflect the outcome of the game-Marcelo, Danilo and Paulinho are doubtful for the next game, Costa is unfit and Casemiro is suspended. Coutinho, Neymar and Luis are all one booking away from a one-match ban, they should be very careful because the players on the bench are not 100% ready to replace them.

BELGIUM

Belgium qualified for the quarter-finals after a dramatic second-half against Japan. Down two goals with 21 minutes remaining, Belgium made an unlikely comeback to snatch a late winner in the fourth minute of stoppage-time. Belgium have not been shy in front of goal. Roberto Martinez's men have scored 12 goals in four matches. However, the four the team has conceded should be a worry with Brazil on the horizon. Belgium has won their last 9 matches in FIFA World Cup and scored at least 3 goals in 5 of their last 6 games. Their attack is one of the best in the world, but against Brazil, they have to think about defence as well. Playing with 3 defenders in the middle and Meunier and Carasco on the wings may not be the best way to start a game against Selecao. Carasco performance against Japan was horrible(the 2 goals came from the left zone) and he played no defence as well. The changes that Martinez did-putting Chadli and Fellaini in the game bring more power and strength in the middle field which create more empty space for De Bruyne and Hazard to attack. The biggest worry for Martinez will be preventing goals against Brazil. Chadli, Fellaini and Dembele may be very helpful in defence at this match. Meunier, Vertongen and De Bruyne are one booking away from a one-match ban.

PREDICTION

The Golden Generation of Belgium football will have one of their biggest tests facing Brazil-the most successful national football team in history. They have met only once in a World Cup Finals- 16 years ago in the 1/8 Finals when Brazil eliminated Belgium and won the tournament after that. Belgium was eliminated from the World Cup four years ago as well at the quarterfinal stage. It was the furthest the Red Devils had reached since 1986. The Brazilians had little difficulty getting past Mexico. The only real talking point was the "fake fouls" and diving claims thrown at Neymar. Coutinho is the guy in the Brazilian team who has to be covered all the time. Belgium will have the chance to win the game if they win the battle in the middle(where Casemiro will be the big missing name) and stop Neymar's runs on the wing. Who will win? We would like to think that will be Belgium, but if they are weak in defence and let Brazil use their speed they will be in a big trouble.

URUGUAY

With 4 straight wins (3 of them with a clean sheet) Uruguay is proving that they are one of the most organized teams in the tournament. The only goal in their net was scored in the last game against Portugal when Pepe managed to find an empty space in the box and with a strong header to equalized the score. This was not enough for the Portugues side because a few minutes later Cavani scored his second goal in the match. The deadly duo Suarez and Cavani had one of their best performance together. Oscar Tabarez's men are one win away from getting to the World Cup semi-finals for the second time in three World Cup tournaments. There are two main problems in the team situations- their superstars Cavani and Suarez are doubtful for the clash against France. Luis Suarez picked up a knock in training, but he is expected to be ready for the game. The news around Cavani are not that good- the Paris Saint-Germain striker will reportedly not be fit enough to start the game(even if somehow he start, he will be with limited minutes). Oscar Tabarez mentioned that the most important thing in his team is the balance and without Cavani, he had a huge hole in the attacking line. Godin and Gimenez are showing remarkable understanding in the middle of the defence, but they will be tested from the strong play in the air from Girou, the technical skills from Griezmann and the speed of Mbappe. Uruguay has never lost a single World Cup game against France (2 draws and 1 win) and in 4 of their last 5 clashes between them have ended 0-0.

FRANCE

After the great win against Argentina, France proved that they have the quality and the skills to beat any of the teams in the tournament. With 3 wins and 1 draw until now France is picking up speed and is looking for the final. The first two games against Australia and Peru they showed very good defence and great accuracy in attack. Against Denmark, they were the better team as well but they saved a lot of energy for the knock out stages. They have won with a 1 goal margin in 5 of their last 6 matches in FIFA World Cup. Against Argentina, they showed how dangerous they are on counter attacks and that they can create chances for a goal from any mistakes of their opponents. Everybody in the world now saw how fast Mbappe is and that it is impossible to stop him if he has an empty space in front of him. Vecino, Laxalt and Godin will have to bring their best game against the youngster. The big disappointment in the team is Pogba- who can't still find his top form. His passes are very week and most of the time are too late, his dribble is not working(most of the time he lost the ball) and his shooting is not on target. This is where comes Kante-the best defence middle field player in the tournament! His performance is outstanding and after Mbappe he is probably the most valuable player in the team. France has the youngest team in the tournament, but most the players have already a lot of experience because they play in the biggest European clubs.

PREDICTION

It looked like that Uruguay have a bigger problem in the team- Cavani missing the game can be a huge blow. For France, the game is missing Matuidi who will probably be replaced by Dembele(who is waiting for a chance to prove himself) or Tolisso. Both teams will be very careful not to concede a goal in their net and will try to be organized and build their attacks with time-this will be harder for the South American side if their top goalscorer is missing. Still, Uruguay is very dangerous from free kicks and corner kicks and the French defence should be aware for covering Suarez, Godin and Gimenez at any cost. Uruguay has seen under 2.5 goals in their last 6 matches against France in all competitions and they have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 3 matches in FIFA World Cup. Will Uruguay lead on the halftime again? Probably not! France is the favourite in the game and this is their best chance to finally record a win against the tough team of Oscar Tabarez. If somehow the game finish tie again between this to sides, we predict that France will manage to win it before the shootout because they have the younger and faster team.
