Switzerland vs Canada

This shapes as one of the toughest games of the day to call.

Switzerland's organisation and defensive discipline make them difficult opponents for any side, while Canada possess pace and athleticism capable of causing problems on the counterattack.

The Swiss are likely to control possession, but Canada's direct style could create opportunities in transition. Expect a closely fought contest with little separating the two sides.

Canada are already through so maybe they rest players opening the door for a Swisse victory, but with the momentum and home advantage these sides are hard to seperate.

Tip: 1-1 Draw
Goalscorer Tip: Ruben Vargas

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar

Bosnia have quietly impressed throughout the tournament and should have enough quality to secure victory here.

Qatar have been terrible so far, and have players out through suspension after 2 red cards against Canada.

Qatar have struggled to consistently create chances against stronger opposition. Bosnia's physicality and attacking threat could prove decisive, particularly from set pieces.

A professional performance should see Bosnia collect all three points.

Tip: Bosnia and Herzegovina wins 2-0
Goalscorer Tip: Ermedin Demirovic

Morocco vs Haiti

Morocco enter the match as overwhelming favourites and will be expected to dominate proceedings.

The Atlas Lions have established themselves as one of the strongest teams outside football's traditional elite and possess quality throughout the pitch, now ranking 6th best national team in the world.

Haiti have shown admirable resilience during the tournament but may struggle to contain Morocco's attacking talent.

If Morocco are clinical in front of goal, this could be one of the more comfortable victories of the day.

Tip: Morocco wins 3-0
Goalscorer Tip: Brahim Diaz

Scotland vs Brazil

Arguably the standout fixture of the day.

Scotland have been one of the surprise packages of the tournament, combining organisation, work rate and attacking intent to trouble several opponents.

However, Brazil's individual quality remains difficult to ignore and will be fired up after a big win against Haiti.

While Scotland should make life uncomfortable for the five-time world champions, Brazil possess game-changers capable of deciding matches in an instant.

Expect a competitive encounter before Brazil's quality eventually shines through.

Tip: Brazil wins 2-1
Goalscorer Tip: Matheus Cunha

South Africa vs South Korea

This could be a tighter contest than many expect.

South Africa are well-drilled defensively and rarely give opponents easy opportunities, but South Korea's technical quality and movement in the final third may provide the breakthrough.

The Koreans have looked increasingly dangerous as the tournament has progressed and should have enough to edge a low-scoring and cagey affair.

Tip: South Korea wins 1-0
Goalscorer Prediction: Lee Kang-in

Czechia vs Mexico

Mexico continue to impress with their organisation and ability to grind out results and have secured a spot in the round of 32.

Czechia possess plenty of quality themselves, but Mexico's balance between defence and attack could prove the difference in what is likely to be another closely contested match.

A single goal may be enough to separate the two nations as Czechia struggles to score from open play. Gilberto Mora is set to start, and could write his name in the history books with a goal.

Tip: Mexico wins 1-0
Goalscorer Tip: Gilberto Mora
