Uruguay v France
Friday, July 6 (10pm Hong Kong time)
Nizhny Novgorod
Head-to-head: Uruguay 2 wins, France 1 win, 4 draws
If World Cup history is anything to go by, this one won’t be a classic – France and Uruguay have shared two 0-0 draws at the tournament, in 2002 and 2010. The South American side also beat the Europeans 2-1 in 1966.
But that will all go out the window on Thursday, and we should be in for an entertaining match with the tournament’s meanest defence up against France’s lively attack.

Kylian Mbappe announced himself on the international stage with a double in France’s 4-3 win against Argentina in the last 16, and Griezmann showed signs he is starting to fire.
Uruguay have conceded just one goal in four games, but with Edinson Cavani an injury doubt the burden will fall on Suarez to perform more heroics.
That could mean Uruguay sit back even more than usual and try to contain France, hoping to catch them on the counter attack. France are fancied, but Uruguay are no mugs and could pull off the shock.
Prediction: Uruguay 0-0 France (Uruguay win on penalties)
Odds: Uruguay $2.80, France $1.50 (Oddschecker)
