Belgium - Tunisia
The Red Devils will be looking to continue their winning start with another win over the lesser fancied
Tunisia. A brace from Manchester United striker Romelo Lukaku gave the European giants a simple 3-0

strings in midfield. This will be the fourth meeting between Belgium and Tunisia, with both nations
winning one game and sharing one draw. Belgium is unbeaten in its last 10 World Cup group games,
winning the last five in a row (W5 D5 L0). Each of Belgium's last 11 World Cup goals have come after
halftime.
Korea - Mexico
Mexico will have momentum on their side with the biggest shock of the tournament where they
outplayed defending champions Germany to win 1-0. However Korea will know they have their work cut
out after a disappointing loss against the Swedish and will rely on Tottenham’s Son Heung-Min to make
the difference for them. The only previous World Cup meeting between South Korea and Mexico was in
1998, with the Central Americans running out 3-1 winners in the group stages. Mexico have won all
three of their World Cup games against Asian opposition (7 goals for, 2 against). Mexico have lost just
two of their last 18 World Cup group stage matches (W9 D7). South Korea are winless in their last seven
World Cup matches (D2 L5), losing their last three in a row.
Germany – Sweden
The Die Manschaft will look to get their world cup defense off the mark after a poor showing against the
Mexicans. The Swedes on the other hand will be looking to continue their positive start. They will be
pleased even if they can eke out a draw with Emil Forsberg being a player that can shine against the

important. Germany is unbeaten in their last 11 games against Sweden (W6 D5), with the Scandinavians’
last win coming 40 years ago in April 1978 (3-1). Sweden have faced the reigning World Cup champion at
the World Cup twice before and won both times – in 1950 against Italy and 1958 against Germany.
Germany have not lost back to back matches in the same World Cup finals since 1958, when they lost to
Sweden in the semi-final and France in the third-place match.
