Ivory Coast vs Norway
Ivory Coast and Norway may not be the two strongest teams in the tournament, but both have demonstrated their quality and are certainly possible of enjoying runs deep into the competition.
Although Ivory Coast carry winning momentum into the game, having defeated Curacao 2-0 last time out, Norway named an almost entirely rotated side in the defeat to France, meaning their strongest side will be fully rested going into this knockout clash.
Therefore, with the likes of Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard and several others completely rested and fully fit going into this meeting with Ivory Coast, we are backing Norway to eventually prevail in a hard-fought encounter.
Norway to win, 2.06 – 5JGPKYK
Erling Haaland has certainly turned up to his first World Cup in his usual goalscoring form, striking four goals in two games before being entirely rested in Norway’s eventual defeat to France.
The striker netted a brace in the 4-1 win against Iraq before scoring a decisive double in the narrow 3-2 win against Senegal, and with Haaland now fresh following his rest against France, we are backing the superstar forward to demonstrate his quality once again and get on the scoresheet.
Erling Haaland to score anytime, 1.80 – 5JGPQYG
France vs Sweden
France went into the World Cup as one of the favourites to eventually lift the trophy, and they certainly demonstrated their quality in a dominant group stage, winning all three matches while scoring 10 and conceding just two goals.
The likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele have been in top form, each already scoring four goals, and as they now face a Sweden side that conceded five goals in a disastrous 5-1 loss to the Netherlands in the group stage, France’s attacking talent should overwhelm their opponents and help lead them to victory.
France to win, 1.30 – 5JGPV2H
Mbappe, as aforementioned, has enjoyed a stunning start to the 2026 World Cup, scoring four goals and registering two assists in his opening three appearances throughout the group stages.
The forward has consistently been at his best at the World Cup, including netting four goals in seven appearances as a teenager in 2018 and finishing as the top scorer with eight goals in seven matches in 2022, and his fine form looks set to continue heading into the knockout rounds of the 2026 tournament.
Given his fantastic start to the competition and his record at World Cups, alongside Sweden’s exposed defensive vulnerabilities shown in the loss to the Netherlands, we are backing Mbappe to score once again here.
Kylian Mbappe to score anytime, 1.65 – 5JGPZ3L
Mexico vs Ecuador
Mexico had a brilliant group stage, winning all three of their matches while scoring six goals and, most impressively, managing to keep clean sheets in all of the three games.
While they now face arguably their toughest test against Ecuador, who showed their strength in the 2-1 win against Germany to secure their progression last time out, Mexico’s impressive form combined with the continued advantage of playing on home soil leads us to expect a win for Javier Aguirre’s side.
Mexico to win, 2.24 – 5JGQ62H
Julian Quinones enjoyed the best goalscoring season of his career in 2025/26, scoring a staggering 37 goals in 35 matches across all competitions for Al-Qadsiah, and the forward has carried that form into the World Cup.
Quinones scored the first goal at the tournament as Mexico eventually won 2-0 against South Africa, followed by netting the second goal in Mexico’s 3-0 triumph against Czech Republic last time out.
Despite being set to face an Ecuador side who are renowned for their defensive strength, we are predicting that Quinones will continue that sensational goalscoring form by scoring once more.
Julian Quinones to score anytime, 3.60 – 5JGQDJ3
