Colombia vs Ghana
Colombia sent a warning shot to their rivals when they outshot Portugal in their final group stage outing. Wins over DR Congo and Uzbekistan meant that the South Americans topped their group with just one goal conceded in their opening three World Cup outings.
The Black Stars progressed regardless as a third-placed team and will look back on their impressive defensive showing against England as they advance into the knockout stages.
PREDICTION: Colombia to win either halves at 1.23 Odds
Canada vs Morocco
Co-hosts Canada are enjoying their best-ever World Cup, reaching the knockout stages for the very first time, but this will represent their toughest challenge so far at the tournament.
Morocco are also going great guns at the World Cup once again, but needed penalties to make it through and stay unbeaten in competitive matches since June 2023 – although that record includes the 2026 AFCON final, which was awarded to them.
The Atlas Lions are favourites to get the job done in Houston and reach a second consecutive quarter-final.
PREDICTION: Morocco to win either halves at 1.44 Odds
Paraguay vs France
Paraguay have recovered impressively from losing heavily to co-hosts USA in their first game of the tournament and stunned Germany on penalties in the last round.
The South Americans are looking to beat France for the first time in their history in what would be a major World Cup shock.
France have been electric so far at the tournament and has justified their favourites tag by winning all four games and scoring 13 goals in the process.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 Goals at 1.47 Odds
Brazil vs. Norway
Brazil have not been convincing, but they are getting the job done with late goals against Japan.
Haaland has been the star for Norway with 5 goals and will be hoping he continues with his good form.
A tough game for both teams, but Brazil have more quality to win.
PREDICTION: Brazil to win either halves at 1.44 odds
Falkenbergs vs Helsingborg
Top of the table with 28 points, Falkenbergs FF meet 9th-placed Helsingborg, who have accumulated 20 points so far in the campaign.
The home side have won 67 per cent of their last six matches on their own ground, while Helsingborg have lost three times in their last six away fixtures.
Goal statistics show Falkenbergs FF matches have finished over 2.5 goals in five of their last six outings, and Helsingborg have scored two or more in six of their most recent ten league matches.
PREDICTION: GG or Over 2.5 Goals at 1.27 Odds
Flfsborg vs Hammarby
Elfsborg occupy third place in the league with 18 points, narrowly ahead of Hammarby IF, who sit fourth with 17 points. The home side have secured 4 wins from their last 8 matches at Borås Arena.
On the other hand, Hammarby IF have suffered defeat in 3 of their previous 6 Allsvenskan matches.
In the history of this match-up, Elfsborg have lost 4 of their last 6 encounters against Hammarby IF in league competition.
PREDICTION: GG or Over 2.5 Goals at 1.38 Odds
PREDICTION: COMBINED ODDS AT BET9JA = 5JRB8LP
