The climax of the World Cup group stage continues on Friday with six more games to decide who will qualify from Groups G, H and I.
Highlights include a clash between Group H leaders Spain and Uruguay, while Norway and France face an appetising Group I decider in Boston.
Here are the best bets for a bumper Day 16.
Recommended Bets
Norway vs France (Friday, 8pm)
This meeting in Boston has the potential to be one of the best games of the tournament as France and Norway have flown out of the blocks in Group I.
With two wins apiece, they have scored 13 goals between them and with two of the world’s great strikers Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland on show, entertainment and plenty of goals seem almost guaranteed.

Score Prediction: Norway 2-2 France
Senegal vs Iraq (Friday, 8pm)
Senegal have no option but to go for goals against Iraq if they are to have any chance of making the last 32 and they should be able to find the net a few times.
The West Africans have bumped into France and Norway when their opponents have been at the top of their game, but Iraq look well out of their depth in the section and have contributed to their own downfall with some calamitous defending.
Back Over 2.5 Senegal goals @ 22/25 with LiveScore Bet
Score Prediction: Senegal 3-0 Iraq
Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia (Saturday, 1am)
Cape Verde have given themselves a great chance of qualifying for the last 32 after draws against Spain and Uruguay and they can punch their ticket by beating Saudi Arabia.
Their opponents have to pick themselves up from their 4-0 loss to Spain, which means they have posted just one win in their last ten outings, while the Islanders are full of confidence and have lost one of their last 17.
Back Cape Verde to win @ 27/20 with LiveScore Bet
Score Prediction: Cape Verde 2-1 Saudi Arabia
Uruguay vs Spain (Saturday, 1am)
Spain bounced back well from the disappointment of their opening goalless draw against Cape Verde with a strong first-half performance against Saudi Arabia and the European champions look to be getting into their stride.
Uruguay have been underwhelming and there have been reports of an unhappy camp. They also failed to beat Cape Verde and were held by the Saudis, which does not bode well for a clash against one of the tournament favourites.
Back Spain to win to nil @ 13/10 with LiveScore Bet
Score Prediction: Uruguay 0-3 Spain
Egypt vs Iran (Saturday, 4am)
Egypt have grabbed the initiative in Group G following a 3-1 win over New Zealand in their second game and there is no need for them to go mad against Iran with a place in the last 32 already assured.
A point would be enough for them to go through as group winners and a third successive draw also looks like being enough for Iran, so there may not be many fireworks in Seattle and we can expect the teams to share the spoils.
Back the draw at 31/20 with LiveScore Bet
Score Prediction: Egypt 0-0 Iran
New Zealand vs Belgium (Saturday, 4am)
New Zealand are the team in Group G with the most to do following their 3-1 defeat to Egypt and there looks a strong chance they could be outclassed by Belgium.
Rudi Garcia’s team have not really got going yet in the tournament and have had to settle for two draws, but they should be a lot more forceful in the final third than they were in their stalemate with Iran.
Back Over 2.5 Belgium goals @ 13/20 with LiveScore Bet
Score Prediction: New Zealand 0-3 Belgium
