Match 45
Ghana v Uruguay
The grudge match to end all grudge matches - Ghana have not forgotten 2010 and Uruguay's Suarez has stated that he is not sorry hand-balling away a sure goal for Ghana.
Ghana stunned Korea Republic with 3 goals in their last outing but had to repel attack after attack in the second half. They conceded two headed goals and will need to be on their toes with Uruguay's strikers hungry to get on the scoresheet. A draw may see them through but a win guarantees it.
Uruguay arguably haven't got their tournament going just yet, and will be deeply disappointed if it all ends here. They have failed to find the net so far but have come close - they'll need their shooting boots on and to play more aggressively than their previous two appearances against Portugal and Korea Republic. Keep an eye out for any Suarez antics if he is on the pitch...
Nothing but a win will do for Uruguay.
Match 46
Korea Republic v Portugal
Korea Republic will be determined to get a win here - they were crushed after failing to equalise against Ghana with chance after chance squandered. Their number 9 Cho Gue-sung is in red hot form after scoring two brilliant headers against the Black Stars, which should alleviate the pressure on Son Heung-Min slightly, but he will still be feeling the heat nonetheless.
Two wins have seen Portugal qualify for the Round of 16 but they still haven't fully convinced. They should top the group but may want at least a draw to ensure it - although that would leave them on the same side of the knockouts as England, France, and now Spain...
Match 47
Serbia v Switzerland
Serbia's tactics in the second half against Cameroon were questionable as they were caught with through balls upon conceding both goals - failing to keep their two goal cushion as a result in what should have been a comfortable win. They mostly have their shooting boots on and scored from both long and short distance which could spell trouble for Switzerland - Serbia's target man Mitrovic will hope to be more clinical this time out.
Switzerland can likely progress with a draw in this game, so don't expect attacking football from the Swiss. They held out for 83 minutes against top-ranked Brazil and will hope to shut Serbia out completely - assuming that Brazil will do the job against Cameroon, they should progress if they avoid a loss.
Match 48
Cameroon v Brazil
Cameroon let in a couple of soft goals against Serbia but scored one of the goals of the tournament as well, coming away with a shambolic draw. They'll need to be much more disciplined against an efficient Brazil side and their best hope may be that Brazil field a weaker lineup. A win is a must, but it's a big ask.
Brazil have qualified for the Round of 16 and if they top the group, they will be end up the same side of the draw as rivals Argentina. Switzerland can technically overtake them but that is unlikely - Brazil should have the upper hand in possession against Cameroon and the firepower to see them through.
