Main Match Prediction
The latest stats, recent performances and the significance of the occasion all point towards Under 2.5 Goals.
Switzerland's injury concerns further strengthen our case. Johan Manzambi, who has contributed three goals and two assists at the tournament, Djibril Sow, Michel Aebischer and Luca Jaquez are all doubts for the game.
We don’t expect the two evenly matched sides to combine for three goals, which makes Under 2.5 at -175 our preferred play in what could be a tight Round of 16 encounter.
The World Cup experts at Sportsgambler.com have a strong handle when it comes to injuries and suspensions. The recent form also helps to shape our football predictions, with this being cross-referenced with the latest numbers.
