For Spain Vs Belgium

With the absence of Amadou Onana, Belgium’s midfield could struggle to cover defensive ground against Spain, a team built on quick combinations and progression through central areas. Pedri could shine by driving from deep or breaking the lines with his innovation and diverse passing range.

For Morocco Vs France

After a dazzling display against Canada to send his nation through to the Quarter Finals, Azzedine Ounahi may be able to take advantage of Tchouaméni’s absence or unfavourable condition to pose a threat to the tournament favourites.

For Switzerland Vs Colombia

The Young Player of the Tournament so far. Johan Manzambi has taken this World Cup by storm, his country will look to him to unlock Colombia’s experienced defence with his phenomenal ball-carrying ability and determined delivery.

For Spain Vs Portugal

After impressing in his most recent outing against Austria, Alex Baena will look to exploit his opposing fullback through archetypal Spanish link-up play, an attribute he truly excels at.

For Norway Vs Brazil

With his devastating running power and quick feet, Nusa will be looking to exploit Brazil’s weakest point: fullback.

For Canada Vs Morocco

Canada’s man that can do it all. His nation will look towards him for inspiration and creative influence in a tough fixture against Morocco.

For Australia Vs Egypt

The Socceroos’ teenage sensation earning his place in the spotlight.

For Croatia Vs Portugal

Croatia’s young dynamo looking to cause problems for Portugal.

For DR Congo Vs England

Any joy for DR Congo in this underdog affair will likely start with this man.
