Switzerland W vs. Spain Women (Saturday, 6.00am)
On Saturday, the knockout rounds of the Women's World Cup 2023 will kick off with an-all European tie between Switzerland Women and Spain Women
Switzerland finished top of Group A with seven points to their name, while Spain finished runners-up in Group C behind Japan.
We say: Switzerland Women 0-1 Spain Women
With Switzerland's previous two games resulting in goalless draws, we expect Saturday's last-16 tie to be another cagey affair.
Spain may have to be patient in their quest to break down the Switzerland defence, but we think they have enough quality in the final third to find a way through and claim a narrow victory.

Japan Women vs. Norway Women (Saturday, 9.00am)
A place in the quarter-finals will be at stake when Japan Women face Norway Women in the last-16 of the Women's World Cup 2023 on Saturday.
Japan cruised through the group stage without dropping a point, while Norway required a win over the Philippines in their final group game to secure a place in the knockout rounds.
We say: Japan Women 2-0 Norway Women
Norway would have taken confidence from their comfortable win over the Philippines, but Japan will prove to be a much tougher test, and we think the Asian side will produce another strong performance to book their place in the quarter-finals.
