Groups C and D will play their second fixtures of the World Cup on Saturday.
Tunisia and Australia will kick off the action, before Saudi Arabia look to cement their spot in the knockout stages against Poland.
France face Denmark in today’s third game, before Argentina’s battle to get their tournament back on track against famous foes Mexico.
Here are 90min‘s predictions for all the action.
Tunisia put in a spirited showing against Denmark last time out to secure a surprise point, and they’ll look to build on that against an Australia side who scored first against France before conceding four unanswered goals.
This is a massive fixture for both sides, who are rank outsiders in Group C. Lose here, and your slim hopes of qualification are almost certainly over.
Tunisia might just have enough to keep their battle going for a few more days.
Prediction: Tunisia 2-1 Australia
Poland’s opening day draw with Mexico was a dull one, unlike Saudi Arabia’s rip-roaring triumph over the mighty Argentina.
Despite that win, Saudi Arabia still enter this fixture as the underdogs and may have to step things up a level against Robert Lewandowski, who is out to ensure Poland don’t fall to a humiliating defeat of their own.
The Saudis are looking to defy expectations yet again, and while victory may be too far, a crucial point could be on the cards.
Prediction: Poland 1-1 Saudi Arabia
France threatened to fall to a surprise defeat on the opening day before they restored normality with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Australia, and three more points here would do the trick for Didier Deschamps’ Bleus.
They’re facing a Denmark side who really could have done with more than one point against Tunisia, which set up a nervy finish to the group stages.
France are the reigning world champions for a reason and they should have enough about them to get the job done here.
Prediction: France 3-1 Denmark
There can be no excuses for Argentina here. Having slumped to defeat against Saudi Arabia, they cannot afford anything less than three points when they take on Mexico in the day’s final game.
Lionel Scaloni has urged fans not to overreact to the defeat, and he has a point. Argentina were the pre-tournament favourites and brought a 36-game unbeaten streak to Qatar because they very rarely lose matches, let alone two on the bounce.
Expect Argentina to get things back on track here.
Prediction: Argentina 2-1 Mexico
