THE PREDICTION
After finishing top of Group D with seven points, Qatar face Group A runners-up El Salvador for a place in the semi-finals. This is set to be a battle between attack and defence, with Qatar having scored the highest number of goals in the group stage, netting nine times in total and El Salvador proven themselves as a solid unit who give little away defensively. With two clean sheets and just one goal conceded so far, El Salvador are likely to adopt a cautious playstyle here in a bid to blunt Qatar’s strong offence and hit them on the counter attack, which may in turn force their opponents to play slightly more conservatively, knowing that they could be punished for pushing too many bodies forward. With that in mind, under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes looks like being the shrewd play, regardless of who advances to the semi-finals.
