Where: Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow
When: June 20, 8 AM EST
Watch: Telemundo, FS1 (TV); Fox Sports Go (Streaming)
Prediction: 2-0 Portugal: Given Morocco's strong defense, albeit they may have challenge containing Cristiano Ronaldo, this game will be a win for Portugal, not a rout of Morocco. I originally predicted a 1-0 win, however, Ronaldo's performance last Friday indicated that he is having a career WC performance in Russia.
Who: Uruguay v. Saudi Arabia
Where: Rostov Arena, Rostov-on-Don
When: June 20, 11 AM EST
Watch: Fox, Telemundo (TV); Fox Sports Go (Streaming)
Prediction: 4-0 Uruguay: This should be a bigger number of goals for Uruguay. However, after a lack of finishing from Uruguay's striker Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, they will "only" score four goals through Saudi's "Swiss cheese" defense. I won't be surprised if they do finish better and score up to 7-8 goals.
Who: Iran v. Spain
Where: Kazan Arena, Kazan
When: June 20, 2 PM EST
Watch: Fox, Telemundo (TV); Fox Sports Go (Streaming)
Prediction: 3-0 Spain: Like Uruguay, I won't be surprised if Spain scores more. Iran has an average defense, but Spain has more depth and talent in their attack, defense, and in their goalkeeper. Diego Costa may get another brace or a hat-trick for Spain.
