World Cup Top Picks - Saturday, June 27
The Croatia vs. Ghana match could end in a draw, as both teams would be satisfied with a tie. Ghana has proven to be a tough team to break down, as England can attest.
Panama has shown strong defensive skills, but England is looking to bounce back from a dull nil-nil draw against Ghana. This match could be just what England needs to get back on track.
The Colombia vs. Portugal match is crucial, as the winner will take the top spot in the group and avoid France and Spain in the next round. Portugal dominated the advanced stats against Congo but struggled to finish, while Colombia took time to score against Congo and Uzbekistan.
Congo needs a win to advance, while Uzbekistan has been eliminated. Congo may not have Portugal's scoring ability, but it's likely to get a goal. With an open game, Uzbekistan might also score.
The Algeria vs. Austria match is intriguing, as neither team wants to finish second and face Spain in the Round of 32. However, it seems Austria is destined for that spot, and both teams may adopt a cautious approach.
Argentina has secured its spot in the group, and we can expect lineup changes. Lionel Messi will likely start, but may be substituted in the second half. Thiago Almada is a good pick, but other Argentine players may also get opportunities.
