Spain v Saudi Arabia

After a shock draw against Cape Verde, Spain will need a big performance from their side to beat Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia took a point from Uruguay but were on the receiving end for most of the game, with Spain being much better than Cape Verde the difference being some top quality goalkeeping.

Spain must win this game if they want to put their names up again as one of the favourites in this tournament.

Tip - Spain wins 3-1
Goal Scorer Tip - Lamine Yamal

Belgium v Iran

A big chance for both sides in this game. Belgium will likely change their attack going into this game, if they field Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard, and Jeremy Doku, they give themselves a great chance to score goals.

Iran played a lot of long ball football against New Zealand, and with the physicality of this Belgium team, I don't think that strategy will work.

Tip - Belgium wins 2-1
Goal Scorer Tip - Kevin De Bruyne

Uruguay v Cape Verde

A historic result for Cape Verde in their first game, with Uruguay left frustrated after dropping points in a game they should have won.

Cape Verde will need another goalkeeping masterclass to give them any chance in this game. Hard to see anything but a Uruguay win despite the heroics last game.

Tip - Uruguay wins 3-0
Goal Scorer Tip - Federico Valverde

New Zealand v Egypt

2 sides who were very impressive in their opening games, particularly in attack, but Egypt has the better attacking options and should be able to create enough opportunities to beat New Zealand.

New Zealand will need to be more defensively organised this game or Egypt will make it very hard to get a win.

Could be a surprise game, and could be another entertaining watch, but Egypt's attacking quality should be enough.

Tip - Egypt wins 3-1
Goal Scorer Tip - Mostafa Ziko
