Argentina vs Egypt

Lionel Messi to have 2 or more shots on target @ 13/8 with bet365

Messi is the tournament’s most prolific individual threat and arrives in Atlanta having scored in every knockout fixture so far. He averages 3.1 shots per game at this World Cup and carries a finishing instinct that shows no sign of fading at 39 years old. Egypt will sit deep and absorb pressure, which historically creates the half-spaces and set-piece situations where Messi does his greatest damage. He registered two shots on target in the narrow win over Cape Verde. Against a defence facing a player of this quality for the first time, two or more shots on target looks well within reach.

Switzerland vs Colombia

Granit Xhaka to commit 2 or more fouls @ 3/1 with bet365

Xhaka carries the defensive and creative burden for Switzerland in equal measure – he presses aggressively, makes physical interventions and rarely shies away from a tackle. Colombia’s midfield, led by James Rodríguez and Moisés Caicedo, will run directly at Switzerland’s engine room from the opening minutes. Xhaka committed 1.8 fouls per game on average across the group stage and Round of 32. Colombia’s directness in transition will demand multiple aggressive interventions from the Switzerland captain. At the available price, two or more fouls across 90 knockout minutes looks an excellent proposition.
