Czechia v South Africa

Both sides looking for there first points, they'll be desperate to get a win here to keep their hopes alive.

Czechia played decent technical football despite the loss against South Korea. South Africa only lost 2-0 on paper, but were really poor and will be without players in this game due to their 2 red cards.

With South Africa changing formations in recent history, their multiple forced changes, and off the back of a poor performance, we could see a really different approach in this game.

Tip - Czechia wins 1-0
Goal Scorer Tip - Pavel Sulc

Switzerland v Bosnia and Herzegovina

Both teams off a 1-1 draw, another great matchup that is vital for both sides. Switzerland the better side on paper, but they seem to have a habit of dropping points.

Switzerland are one of those sides, that if you can frustrate them, their heads can go opening a big chance to win the game.

If Switzerland can hold their nerve, they will win this game, the ultimate question is can they? With 5 of their last 8 games resulting in draws, they'll need to be at their best to get a win over a good Bosnia side.

Tip - 1-1 draw
Goal Scorer Tip - Noah Okafor

Canada v Qatar

Canada will fancy their chances in this one, with Qatar playing underdog football in their opening game.

In front of a home crowd with an opportunity against a weaker opponent; if Canada cannot fire up for this game it will be a generational regret.

They need to back their ability and let Qatar sit back, but pepper their goal and play most of the football in Qatar's half.

Tip - Canada wins 3-0
Goal Scorer Tip - Jonathan David

Mexico v South Korea

Game of the day. Both sides played great attacking football in their opening games, both sides winning.

Mexico looked the better side with South Korea being easier to break down defensively than Mexico.

After a win, in front of a home crowd, and looking at the quality attack Mexico produced in their opening game, they will be the favourites to get the job done again.

South Korea missed key chances despite winning against Czechia, and have had a wild week with the side distancing themselves from their media, after the South Korean media mocked Heung Min-Son.

Tip - Mexico win 2-1
Goal Scorer Tip - Julian Quinones
