⚽ Mexico vs Ecuador | 🕗 01.07.2026, 01:00 GMT | 📍Mexico City Stadium
Playing in front of a passionate home crowd at altitude, Mexico will fancy their chances against an Ecuador side known for its physicality and defensive discipline. The host nation’s technical quality and crowd support should give them the edge in a tightly fought contest, though Ecuador’s set-piece threat and resilience make this far from a formality. Our tip: Mexico to Win, Asian Handicap -0.5 at odds of 1.90.
⚽ England vs DR Congo | 🕗 01.07.2026, 16:00 GMT | 📍Atlanta Stadium
England head into this tie as clear favourites on paper, with greater squad depth and individual quality across the pitch. DR Congo, however, have impressed with their athleticism and direct attacking play throughout the group stage and won’t simply sit back. Expect England to dominate possession and create the better chances, with their quality eventually breaking down a determined opponent. Our tip: England to Win & Both Teams to Score at odds of 2.05.
⚽ Belgium vs Senegal | 🕗 01.07.2026, 20:00 GMT | 📍Seattle Stadium
Belgium’s experienced core and attacking talent make them favourites here, but Senegal’s pace, physicality, and ability to hurt teams on the break have caused problems for stronger opponents before. This has the makings of an open, end-to-end knockout tie rather than a cautious affair, with both sides likely to commit men forward in search of a winner. Our tip: Over 2.5 Goals at odds of 1.92.
