World Cup 2022 quarter finals preview
England vs France promises to be the most heated encounter among all the fixtures. The defending champions go up against the Euro 2022 finalists, who haven’t won the World Cup in over half a century. Based on current form, it will be a very competitive clash amongst two of the best-performing teams in the world.
Croatia, Morocco and Netherlands face Brazil, Portugal and Spain respectively, heading in as underdogs. The 2018 finalists are no strangers to being on the other side of the odds. But, they will be facing the number 1 ranked team who are in a fearsome run of form.

Portugal vs Morocco is anybody’s guess, especially following the Atlas Lions’ spirited display to eliminate Spain. Argentina, however, are the strong favourites to beat Netherlands and seal a semi-final spot.
