Who will you be backing?
Spain vs Austria
Spain may have had a slow start to the World Cup when they were held to a 0-0 draw by Cape Verde, but Luis De La Fuente’s side managed to win their final two group matches to comfortably qualify for this round.
Austria, meanwhile, impressed against Jordan but were dominated by Argentina and fortunate to snatch a point against Algeria in the final match, having held just 35% of the ball throughout the game.
Austria did demonstrate their counter-attacking ability in that thrilling 3-3 draw with Algeria, a quality they will be hoping to make use of against a Spain side that should dominate possession.
However, De La Fuente’s team boast similar qualities to Argentina both in and out of possession, and we are, therefore, backing a similar result to Austria’s 2-0 loss to Argentina to take place in this game.
Spain to win, 1.36 – 5JLKWVD
Mikel Oyarzabal is Spain’s top scorer at the World Cup thus far with two goals, while the striker was also the nation’s top scorer during World Cup qualifying, netting six goals in six appearances.
The forward should spearhead the attack once again against Austria, and with the likes of Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and others supplying the chances, we predict that Oyarzabal will find the back of the net.

Portugal vs Croatia
Portugal take on Croatia in a fascinating Round of 32 clash that is certain to provide a hard-fought affair, with both teams aiming to secure the win and avoid a shock early elimination from the tournament.
Croatia have shown their defensive vulnerabilities throughout the group stage, including conceding four goals against England and numerous chances throughout their three fixtures, and that could be costly against a Portugal midfield and attack packed with creative quality.
The likes of Joao Neves, Vitina, Bruno Fernandes and Pedro Neto will likely have plenty of the ball against Croatia, and with their quality delivering chances to the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, we are backing Portugal’s attacking power to prove too much for Croatia and ultimately lead them to victory.
Portugal to win, 1.82 – 5JLKYMS
As aforementioned, Ronaldo is certain to be provided numerous opportunities by the likes of Fernandes, Vitinha and Neves, among others, and the veteran forward has already demonstrated his clinical ability.
Ronaldo scored twice in the 5-0 win against Uzbekistan, becoming the first player to score in six different World Cup tournaments, and we are backing the striker to score his first-ever World Cup knockout goal against Croatia.
Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime, 2.20 – 5JLKYXL
Switzerland vs Algeria
Switzerland impressively managed to finish above co-hosts Canada in Group B, having won two and drawn one of their three matches, only dropping points in a shock late 1-1 draw with Qatar in the opening game.
Switzerland’s unbeaten group stage means they have lost just one of their last 17 matches, and they demonstrated superb quality in their World Cup fixtures, with fantastic intensity in and out of possession, as well as multiple moments of superb individual quality.
Although Algeria also showed moments of strong ability in their World Cup group, their vulnerable defence – highlighted by conceding seven goals in three fixtures – should be exposed by a Switzerland attack that netted seven in the group.
Consequently, we are predicting that Murat Yakin’s side will extend their unbeaten run and book their place in the Round of 16.
Switzerland to win, 2.08 – 5JLKZPY
Johan Manzambi did not start either of Switzerland’s opening two games, but the midfielder impressively scored twice off the bench to help change the game and secure a 4-1 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina on matchday two, earning his place in the side on matchday three.
Manzambi followed that performance up with a goal and assist against Canada, demonstrating his quality in the final third, and his physical and overall technical qualities should cause Algeria plenty of problems.
Given Manzambi’s knack of picking up dangerous areas in and around the box, combined with his finishing ability on show so far at the World Cup, we are backing the talented youngster to get a goal here.
Johan Manzambi to score anytime, 4.00 – 5JLL2WD
