England and France were both ultra-impressive in reaching the World Cup quarter-finals and now meet in a mouth-watering match-up. Each side has really caught the eye going forward, but we just feel Les Bleus have looked a touch more vulnerable at the back.
Portugal did an absolute demolition job on Switzerland and are now fancied to end Morocco’s fairytale run at Qatar 2022 if maintaining that momentum. The Atlas Lions showed great resilience to stifle Spain, but their next opponents have more of a cutting edge up front.

Borussia Dortmund will be relying on their passionate home fans to help them claim a first-leg lead over Chelsea at Westfalenstadion.

PSG and Bayern Munich have had some cracking Champions League battles in recent years and another mouth-watering clash is on the cards this term. The big-spending French aristocrats were unbeaten during the group stage, but FC Hollywood impressed more as the only team to win all six matches.
