Neither the Czechs nor the South Africans won, so whoever wins will be safer to head past the groups

The draw for both teams is a sweet consolation prize, but only one is strong enough to achieve the safety.

Both underdogs need a win if they want to feel safer before group stage day 3.

With a loss for Haiti, they will need to make sure to draw against Brasil if they want to have any chance of getting past the group stage. But, Brasil also don't wanna get humiliated once again after a draw with Morocco.

It doesn't matter who won here, because Marocco is the stronger team of the two. But could Scotland somehow scrape by and achieve a result to lead them somewhere more positive?

With Turkey having had a shocking loss to Australia, they will need to beat Paraguay if they want to scrape by.

Surprisingly, Australia have won their first match against Turkey, but so did the US. So who is it that can win now that it matters?

Germany should be clear after a 7-1 victory to Curacao, right? That will only depend on if they can show the same quality in this match against the Ivory Coast.

A humiliation from Germany seems to have taken Curacao out of the tournament for good, as Ecuador were really competitive against Ivory Coast. So who can taste victory and salvation? The impending Curacao, or the mighty Ecuador?

Sweden may have broken Tunisia 5-1, but the Netherlands played competitively against Japan. The Netherlands need a win if they want to feel safer, but Sweden will need to win even more if they want to make sure they don't risk elimination.

For Tunisia, desperation comes early. For Japan, glory comes first. Is the result however just as predictable as it seems?

Cape Verde have made the shock of drawing against the almighty Spain, but Uruguay are still a strong team to beat. Is it possible for one of the two to win. Both drew their first matches, so a win is mandatory for them both.

With a shocking draw against Cape Verde, Spain needs to win against Saudi Arabia if they don't want to face another fall. But it is to not forget that Saudi Arabia punches hard.

With both teams having drawn their matches, Iran and Belgium need a win to secure qualification.

Can New Zealand secure a positive result for themselves against Egypt, or will the Zealanders fall further and further?

Norway have destroyed Iraq, while Senegal were destroyed by France. So Senegal needs to play well if they want to keep on playing, but Haaland's Norway will not make it easy.

France have beaten Senegal 3-1, while Iraq have lost 1-4 against Norway. A win will get Iraq somewhere safer, a loss would make their chances slim.

Lionel Messi has proved that he is more than worthy of playing in the World Cup, but Austria will not back down after their win against Jordan.

England have finally got a good team on their hands, but Ghana are not an underdog joke.

Panama may have lost, but so has Croatia. Panama will want to win at all costs, but Croatia will want to destroy them.

After a disappointing performance against Congo, Portugal need to win if they don't wanna go home in the group stage. But so will Uzbekistan want to win tonight.
