Today's match predictions
From Jason Burt in Doha
Cameroon 1 Serbia 2: Both lost their opening game. Both put up a fight and will fancy their chances of winning. Serbia’s attack, muffled against Brazil, should give them the edge in what could be a tight contest.
Brazil 2 Switzerland 0: It took Brazil time to find their rhythm and beat Serbia and the Swiss should also prove a stern defensive test. They are well-organised and difficult to beat but even without Neymar Brazil are such a devastating attacking threat.
South Korea 2 Ghana 2: Both teams will regard this as a winnable game so it should be an open encounter. Ghana’s defence is vulnerable but they carry a goal-scoring threat while the Koreans will go for it.
Portugal 1 Uruguay 1: This should be a tight, cagey match. Portugal’s win over Ghana means they might be happy with a draw. Similarly Uruguay, after their draw against South Korea, will aim to avoid defeat. Do not be surprised if it is goalless but let’s be optimistic.
