England vs France
England
Foden vs Rashford, Walker vs Trippier, Henderson vs Mason Mount. These were the key decisions Southgate needed to make ahead of Round of 16 clash vs Senegal. Southgate went with Foden, Walker and Henderson in these battles. All three of them had good games in the 3-0 win vs Senegal and Southgate is likely to not make any changes to the winning combination.
Raheem Sterling missed out the game vs Senegal as he rushed home due to burglary at his home. even if he returns in time for the Quarter Finals, it is unlikely that he will start ahead of Foden/Saka.
Predicted Lineup: 4-2-3-1

Brazil vs Croatia
Brazil
Neymar was fully fit and returned to the starting lineup for Round of 16. The other change was Danilo slotting in for Sandro who was not fully fit. The latest news coming in is that he should be fit for Quarter finals which makes him a starter.

Casimero(6.0) Paqueta(7.0)

- Free kicks- Neymar, Raphinha, Casemiro
- Corners- Raphinha, Neymar, Rodrygo
Croatia
Sosa missed out the Round of 16 win vs Japan due to a Virus. He has been one of their best players and he should be back in the line up for Quarter finals. Petkovic started ahead of Livaja last game, but had a ordinary game which means Livaja should back in the team who will be helpful off the ball against Brazil.
Predicted Lineup: 4-3-3
Livaković(5.0)
Juranović(5.0) Lovren(4.5) Gvardiol(4.0) Sosa(3.5)
Modrić(8.5) Brozović(6.0) Kovačić(6.5)

- Corners- Modric, Kovacic
Corner count- Modric has taken 10/17 corners while Kovacic has taken 5 corners.
Portugal vs Morocco
Portugal
Ronaldo benched due to tactical reasons for the all important knock out game was the biggest team news and surprise. His replacement G.Ramos took up the big stage with aplomb and got a hattrick in his first ever World Cup knock out game and should keep his place. Dalot was preferred ahead of Cancelo and put in a great shift defensively and also got an assist. He should also keep his place.
Predicted Lineup: 4-2-3-1
Costa(5.0)
Dalot(5.5) Dias(5.5) Pepe(5.0) R.Guerreiro(5.0)
Bernardo(9.0) William(6.0) Otavio(6.0)
