Round of 16; World Cup Predictions are here. Some countries that was initially written off as underdogs qualified while some that was rated high were eliminated from the competition.
Surprises kept happening in this tournament. South Korea beat Portugal while Ghana couldn’t get their revenge against Uruguay yesterday. . Cameroon beat Brazil but that couldn’t save them from being eliminated from the tournament alongside Serbia.
But in the round of 16, it’s going to be a different game plan as no team will have another chance once they are defeated. Below are my picks for today.

Reasons for my predictions
4:00pm. Netherlands vs USA
Netherlands are unbeaten in their previous 17 World Cup matches. Under 2.5 goals have been seen in 5 of Netherlands’s previous 6 World Cup matches. I want to go for safety by betting on them to remain undefeated and for Un3.5 goals to come on board @1.52
8:00pm. Argentina vs Australia
Argentina have won their last two matches with a -1 handicap. They are considered to be superior to Australia in terms of player quality and will likely win again with a -1 handicap @1.67
3:00pm. CR Belouizdad vs MC Alger
Algeria » Ligue 1. CR Belouizdad occupies the number one position in the Algerian Premier League and they are just 2 points above CS Constantine who are 2nd in position. They may loose this spot if they can’t get anything out of this match.
Moreover, they have won MC Alger back to back in their last 2 home matches. Home to win either half is my pick.
2:00pm. Sabah Baku vs Shamakhi
Azerbaijan » Premier League. Sabah Baku are 2nd in position in Azerbaijan league and they are putting pressure on the first placed Qarabag FK to overtake their position. They are in decent form as they have won 4 of their last 5 matches at home so I am tipping them to win again and less than 4.5 goals should be seen.
8:00pm. RWDM 47 vs Club Brugge KV U23
This match will be played in Belgium Challenger Pro League. RWDM 47 have beaten Club Brugge KV U23 in 3 of their last 5 meetings. Besides, they have won 4 straight matches at home and are eager to win this one to occupy the first position.
6:00pm. Paphos vs Ol. Nicosia
Cyprus » First Division. Pafos FC are the Cyprus league leaders and they are being pursued by AEK Larnaka who are under them with just two points.
Pafos FC have won all their last 6 matches at home and they will do everything possible to continue their winning streak against an out of form Omonia Nicosia. Home win and over 2.5 is also a good bet.
4:00pm. Chorley vs Curzon Ashton
England » National League North. Chorley have won 2 of their last 3 meetings with Curzon Ashton at home. They have also won 4 straight matches at home and are hoping to win this one as well but because Curzon Ashton don’t usually loose when playing away, I will go for a draw no bet.
5:30pm. Cesena vs San Donato
Italy » Serie C – Group B is usually regarded as kick and follow football league. However, Cesenahave done well at home recently by recording 4 wins in 5 matches at home while San Donato are struggling away from home. Due to the inconsistencies in this league, I will go for Cesena to win and under 4.5 goals to be seen.
4:00pm. Linfield vs Carrick Rangers
Northern Ireland » NIFL Premiership. Linfield have defeated Carrick Rangers in 4 of their last 6 meetings in all competitions. They are currently in 5th place at the league table and can leao frog to 2nd place if they win this match.
This is a moral booster for a club who will be playing against Carrick Rangers that have lost all their last 4 away matches. Linfield should win@1.40
4;15pm. Zaragoza vs UD Ibiza
Spain » LaLiga2. 5 of Real Zaragoza’s last 6 matches have all ended in under 2.5 goals.
6:30pm. Mirandes vs Albacete
Spain » LaLiga2. 5 of Mirandes last 6 meetings against Albacete have ended in under 2.5 goals.
2:00pm. Samsunspor vs Denizlispor
Turkey » 1. Lig. Samsunspor have won 4 of their last 5 matches while Denizlispor have lost all there last 6 away matches.
