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 situationsEngland 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 furtherCroatia 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)

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) ❌

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!

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)

Man of the match Harry Kane (2 points at 2.75)

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)

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.

COLOMBIA

After the bad start against Japan, Colombia managed to win their next two games against Poland and Senegal and top the group. The big question in the team is about James Rodriguez, who had to leave the last game against Senegal with an injury in the second half. He is a key player in the team and without him on the field will be very hard to organize fast attacks against the solid defence line of England. Quintero will be the man who will have to replace James and put another great performance in the Colombian attack. Colombia has never won the World Cup and the furthest they have ever been is the quarter-final, which they achieved four years ago. Colombia has never won a game against England and today they will have the biggest challenge in front of them.

 

ENGLAND

England managed to qualify after the win with 6-1 against Panama in their second game and against Belgium they made  9 changes in the team.  England won the World Cup on home soil in 1966 and reached the semi-final in 1990 but have struggled in recent tournaments. England will bring back several players who were rested against-Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker should all return to the starting XI and will be ready for the battle. Nobody put England among the favourites for this World Cup, but they never had a better chance of this to go all the way to the final and with a scoring machine like Harry Kane they are up for the task.

 

PREDICTION

This game will be very tough for both teams because their defensive line is very hard to beat. Colombia had no luck in their first game when Sanches received a red card and left his team with 10 men in the 4th minute of the game. Since then Colombia have kept 2 clean sheets and their central defender Mina even score 2 goals(very vital for their qualification) England is playing with 3 central defenders when they attack but when they don't possess the ball Young and Trippier are always back to cover the empty space on the wing. With fast players like Lingard Alli and Sterling, England are very dangerous in counter attacks and if they found an empty space to cross the ball to their captain- Kane, they are deadly. Kane is in the best form of his life by scoring 5 goals from 5 shots (2 from penalties). In the first half, we expect both teams to wait for a clear chance and not to put a lot of efforts in the attack, it will be a very tough battle in the middle where Henderson. Alli and Lingard will have to face Barrios, Sanchez and Uribe. England usually starts their matches with a few very fast attacks on the wings and put a lot of pressure in the early minutes. Will Colombia be ready for that? They should be if they don't want to be behind so early in the match! Kane will have a battle with Mina in the box as well but we expect from him to win it and to qualify England for the quarterfinals.

 

England to win (3 points at 2.1) ❌

First half draw (2 points at 1.95) ✅

Corners over 10 (2 points at 2.5) ❌

Harry Kane to score a goal (2 points at 2.15) ✅

England to win and both teams to score  (1 point at 5.5)  ❌

Man of the match- Harry Kane (1 points at 4.0) ✅

Penalty in the game- YES (1 point at 2.6)✅

Harry Kane to score a hatrick- Yes (very risky play- 26.0) ❌

 SWEDEN

With two wins and one loss, Sweden managed to take the first place of the group but this qualification did not come easy. They won their first game against South Korea thanks to e penalty shoot scored by the captain of the team Andreas Granqvist. In their second game, they faced Germany- the match started perfectly for them and they scored the first goal, Ola Toivonen found an empty space in the box and with a technical kick send the ball behind Manuel Neuer. Later in the match, Germany managed to equalize the result and in the extra time to steal the win after a brilliant free kick from Tony Kross outside the box. Sweden left with empty hands and in front of them, there was only one option- to beat Mexico! They did it in a classic way after winning the match with 3-0 and even won the group, which gave them a chance to dodge Brazil. Last time Sweden reached the quarter-final in 1994 World Cup in the USA and then they even managed to win the bronze medals after beating Bulgaria. Gustav Svensson is expected to replace Larsson in the midfield -this will be probably the only change that Jan Olof Andersson will make for the game. Can they pass the 1/8 Finals again?

 

SWITZERLAND

Switzerland was in a very tough group as well- Brazil, Serbia and Costa Rica were not teams easy to beat. They managed to win the direct game for the qualification against Serbia after a comeback in the second half of the match. The winning goal from Xredan Shaqiri in the last minute of the game gave them a huge advantage for the final game against Costa Rica. They finish draw (2-2) with the Nort American side and finished the group without a loss(even Brazil couldn't beat them). Switzerland is in the fourth consecutive World Cup Final and is looking to progress beyond for the first time since 1954. All of Switzerland's games in the tournament have seen both teams score, in contrast to just two of their preceding ten. Head coach Vladimir Petkovich will be forced into two changes for the next game- Stephan Lichsteiner(the captain of the team) and Fabian Schar are both suspended(Michael Land and Johan Djourou are expected to play)

 

PREDICTION

Swiss side is currently ranked sixth in the FIFA rankings and they have recorded an impressive run of results since Euro 2016 (15 wins, 4 draws and only 1 lost). Switzerland is undefeated in 16 of their last 17 matches in FIFA World Cup. Without Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schar the team will have problems in the defence line-losing two of your best defenders for a knockout game for sure will change the pace of the team and their tactical play. The absence of Lichtsteiner will give more space and more options for Emil Forsberg on the right wing, who is one of the best Swedish players on the field. The attacks will be mostly concentrated on that wing and from there Sweden will try to put pressure and cross the ball to Berg and Toivonen who are very strong in the air. Sweden has kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 8 matches in FIFA World Cup and against an attack like Switzerland, they have to put their best performance because Shauiri and Xhaka have an amazing shoot and can try to punish them from distance. We expect a lot of shots in the game and a lot of dangerous crosses from free kicks and corner kicks. It will be a very physical game for both teams, but for a prize like that- going to the quarterfinals, none of them will step back.

 

Sweden To Win (3 points at 3.0)✅

First Half Draw (2 points at 1.9)✅

Over 9 Corner Kicks (2 points at 1.75)✅

Total Attempts On Target- Xherdan Shaqiri Over 0.5 (2 points at 1.7)✅

Over 2.5 Goals In The Match (1 point at 2.85)❌

Marcus Berg To Score A Goal (1 point at 3.0)❌

Correct Score : 2-1 (1 point at 13.0)❌
