Leeds United vs West Ham
Leeds United will play in this fixture following a 0-0 Premier League drawn game against Newcastle United. The hosts managed to pick up a point after losing two matches in a row. Nevertheless, they are still in trouble, being only two points ahead of the red zone. It's been seldom in recent times that Leeds United hasn't conceded. The reality is that Leeds United has seen its defense breached in 5 of their previous six clashes, shipping 12 goals in the process. It's a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch to be concerned with from an almost fully healthy set of players. Stuart Dallas (Femoral Fracture) will miss out.
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Brentford in Premier League competition, West Ham United will be hoping to turn things around here. The Hammers suffered five straight losses, and they now have the same number of points as the first team below the red line, Nottingham Forest. The numbers tell their own story, and West Ham United have been scored against in 5 of their last six matches, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals overall. At the back, West Ham United seems to have a bit of a soft underbelly. With a completely injury-free group available for selection, West Ham United manager David Moyes has no fitness concerns at all ahead of this match.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            
It is going to be a tight match, and both teams will try to book a win at Elland Road. However, we won't be surprised if these two sides split points in the upcoming game.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have had defensive issues lately, and that trend might continue on Wednesday evening. That's why we believe neither side will manage to keep the clean sheet in this encounter.
Draw @ 3.55

It will be not an easy game for Leicester. I don't think that they will win. Of course the issue of a value bet is a very different discussion. 

The most of the tis we see a lot of goals in the match for the 3rd place. I think this time we will have 1 to 3 goals. Morocco will try to win the match. I don't think that croatians will be so interested in it.

yes I see what you mean, my bet is mostly based on "probability" , Morocco having over-achieved in comparaison to their actual level and strength for me means that they are due for a loss with at least two goals especially with Mbappe's speed.
Like in tennis if a player ranked 60th beats a guy ranked in the 30th then a guy ranked in the 20th and then again an other guy ranked in the 20th after all this for me his fourth match the likelihood that he gets blown out by a guy ranked 15th is very high, just like the odds suggest, but then of course on the other hand surprises happen all the time.

Its a little bit risky I think. Don't forget that Morocco has no against goals except an own goal at this tournament. In addition to that Morocco hadn't any against goal during the qualification round of Africa. Their defense is perfect. France has a lot of choices in hteir offense but If we look at the match against England we 'll see that English managed to limit French 's  offendive momentum.  That's the point also for Morocco. I think it will be a very closed match. If I had to bet to a match like this, I would like to have all the stats by the best. 

Exactly that !!!! If welook at the past competiotion, we 'll see that there was never any surprise in the final. We had surprices at Euro cup (Greece, Denmark ) but never during a world cup. I strongly believe that the opponents in the final, will be Argentina and  France. Its better for football if Argentina wins. 

I am with you !!!!!! Croatia is a team with a better technique and much more experienced, but Japan faced Germany and Spain very effectively. Its about a disciplined and very good to the physical type of game.  Maybe we see the surprise here. In the other match it will be an easy night for Brazil.

The penultimate day of games in the last 16 is coming up on Monday and it's a couple of games that have contradicting vibes about them. Japan versus Croatia is a match that might've looked a given for Croatia going into the tournament but this is a Japanese team that has already beaten both Germany and Spain. The resolve shown by Hajime Moriyasu during that final game to seal top spot in their group was unreal and makes me feel they could be worth backing here. Zlatko Dalic's men looked very under-cooked in their group games against Morocco and Belgium but those impotent displays sandwiched a 4-1 demolition of Canada. I can see why Croatia are the favourites to progress but I think they'll need extra-time or even penalties to do it. Japan are certainly worth the value though and, as a football romantic, I can't resist that. I've been very impressed by them this tournament especially when they are written off. Unfortunately, my boy Takefusa Kubo is a doubt after missing training so I won't be able to place an anytime scorer bet on him! Kubo! Kubo! Kubo! 
It's Brazil taking on South Korea in the second game and you have to say it seems obvious to back Tite's side. They remain my favourites to win the competition and they are boosted by the news that Neymar is fit to return. Even without Neymar, I feel Brazil have a strong enough squad to get past this South Korean side who have been inconsistent at best. Paulo Bento's men are only at this stage thanks to Hwang Hee-chan's injury-time winner over an apathetic Portugal in their final group match that saw Uruguay eliminated. I think we'll see a similar outcome to the France and England victories here with Brazil getting the job done with minimal fuss.

Japan at 3.80 and even more DNB at 2.60 is total value in my eyes.
They managed to stand face to face with Germany and Spain so I don't know why they are such underdogs against average Croatia , to me Japan should even be small favorites.

It was maybe the most boring match. I personally don't like at all the way that England plays. They have really good players, bur the way they  use them is really awful. I can see a very slow moving team.

Never thought I'd see a game so boring and negative between two teams that both possess attacking qualities as their strengths. Not a fan of supporters booing their own team but I can absolutely understand the frustrations with Gareth Southgate's management at times. USA are better than people give them credit but England should still have been looking to win that comfortably.

I'm not nervous at all. Not one bit. No feeling of us ballsing it up after decades of failure. Christ, this nation has scarred me down the years! Hearing a lot of pundits saying they think we'll win 2-0 or 3-0. Iran are still a decent team who were made to look very ordinary by a very impressive England display. They'll be far better this time around but I also expect us to play more like we did in the second half against the USA than that awful first half. It's going to be close. My head says a draw but my heart says a Wales win. I'll reluctantly say draw because I still think Iran are a very solid outfit who will be tough to break down. A disappointing 0-0 or 1-1 draw wouldn't surprise me. I, of course, hope I'm wrong. I also expect England to have a tricky game against the USA. The Stars and Stripes always up their game against the Three Lions because of 1776 and all that. I still think England should win but they'll need to dig deep.

I'm beginning to hope that the big man @harry_rag has put an obscene wager down on the number of 0-0 draws set to be played out at this tournament!  Glad you're on board, @george44! Don't hold back in telling us your thoughts on the games too. Here's to seeing Cristiano doing his trademark celebration!

I feel that this is the group that is the most wide open. Portugal are probably slight favourites but they're always prone to making hard work of the group stages before growing into the tournament. Uruguay also have that tournament experience. South Korea and Ghana are the slight underdogs but we've seen already how much of a surprise the hugely unfancied teams can have so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw two very tight games here.

I think Portugal is a really good team with a great coatch.  Fast wingers and a mix of experienced and young players. The path for the winner of this group is passable. Let me believe that both opponents in the final will be speaking the same language. 

I just can't work out what Uruguay side we'll see. Diego Alonso has a tough job taking over from Oscar Tabarez and a number of the old guard are coming to the end of their careers or aren't as influential on the pitch as they used to be. Yes, it's a last hurrah for the likes of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani but there are players such as Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez coming through. I've got them down to reach the last 16 but they'll want to finish top of their group to avoid meeting a likely opponent of Brazil in the next phase. Not sure they'd get past a tricky proposition of a Serbia or Switzerland even if they win the group mind.
