ANALYSIS: These two international heavyweights have routinely met in the World Cup, and each of their last two World Cup meetings have ended in a 0-0 draw. The Netherlands also enter Friday’s quarterfinal unbeaten in their last 19 matches across all competitions and they've lost just one of their nine encounters against Argentina in regular time. I think we'll see a close match on Friday that could easily be decided in extra time, one of the main reasons why I’m backing the Dutch +0.5 (-140) in this matchup.

ANALYSIS: Belgium has been a major disappointment through the first two games in Qatar. The Red Devils beat Canada in the opener but were outshot 22-9, then suffered a 2-0 setback against Morocco. Croatia dominated the Canadians on Sunday, recording 10 shots on target in a 4-1 victory. The Croats made it to the final in 2018, and they know they need a result to guarantee a spot in the next round. Belgium may be the higher ranked team in this matchup, but the Croats are the far better side. I love the value we’re getting at +170.

ANALYSIS: France have already qualified for the knockout stage after winning their first two matches. Only a point is needed for Les Bleus to advance as group winners, but I expect Didier Deschamps’ men will want to maintain their confidence. Tunisia needs a win to reach the next round, so they’ll be throwing numbers forward, which doesn’t bode well with Kylian Mbappe’s pace and finishing ability. Mbappe has recorded 3 goals and 1 assist in Qatar, and the French have scored 6 goals in two games, the second-most of any team. Tunisia have failed to score in their first two matches, one of the main reasons I like France -1.5 (+145).

ANALYSIS: Tunisia showcased their defensive prowess in the 0-0 draw against Denmark. Tunisia suffered a 5-1 loss in a friendly against Brazil in September, but if you take away that game, Jalel Kadri’s men haven’t conceded a goal since January. And while Australia jumped out to a 1-0 lead over France in their opener, the Aussies finished the game with just one shot on target. I’m expecting this match to be a cagey affair as both sides lack true goal scoring threats. It’s a steep price at -165, but I’m confident this game stays Under 2.5.

ANALYSIS: France’s attack looked sensational in the opener against Australia as Oliver Giroud and Kylian Mbappe combined for three goals in the 4-1 victory. However, the French haven’t fared well against the Dutch recently, going winless in their last three meetings against Denmark. Five of the last seven games between these teams have produced Under 2.5 goals. France and Denmark squared off in the group stage at the 2018 World Cup, a game which ended in a 0-0 draw. I’m expecting history to repeat itself as we see another low-scoring affair between these two countries. I'm taking Under 2.5 at -140, but I think it's worth backing even as high as -150.
