Spain – Morocco

The match will be played at the Education City Stadium at 8:30 PM IST.

Portugal – Switzerland

The Portugal team and fans are going through a tough time. Because it is Cristiano Ronaldo who has won the whole team. The team’s setback is the form of the player who went to the last World Cup. Ronaldo is unable to create chances or score the ones he gets. Ronaldo did not play full time in all three matches of the group stage.

Coach Fernando Santos’ hopes will be in the youth ranks like Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Jao Felix. If Ronaldo finds his rhythm, it will be an asset. Portugal has reached the quarter-finals only in the 1966 and 2006 World Cups. Switzerland’s only defeat was once morest Brazil in the group stage.

The match will be played at Lucille Stadium at 12.30 am IST.
