Issue 26088: Football win-loss fourteen matches, Brazil, South Korea, Argentina, Netherlands, and England are worry-free.

1. Switzerland vs Canada

In terms of strength, the home team is clearly superior to the away team. Looking at the two group stage matches, the home team has not been particularly aggressive, playing steadily. The away team, young and energetic, with speed and stamina, has shown considerable bravery.

However, the away team's key midfielder Kone has withdrawn from the tournament, which is a huge blow for them. I believe this match will be more civil.

Currently, both teams have one win and one draw in the group, sitting in the top two. Given the situation, a draw in this match would please everyone. The home team is like a slow cooker, and the away team probably has no solution.

First pick draw, then home win.

2. Scotland vs Brazil

The home team has one win and one loss in two matches, with three points, third in the group. From the previous games, their tactics are simple and their attacking methods limited. Although they defeated Haiti, that opponent was weak, offering little persuasion.

The away team has one win and one draw, level on points with Morocco in the group. Overall, their performances have not been great, but their players are clearly superior to the home team.

The odds heavily favor the away team. They must win this game; otherwise, Morocco would take the top spot, which would greatly affect their knockout stage path.

Away win.

3. Czech Republic vs Mexico

The home team has one draw and one loss, third in the group. A draw in this match would give them a chance to advance as the third-placed team. From the previous games, they lack attacking power, and their players are older, often facing stamina issues in the second half.

The away team has won both matches and already qualified. They can rotate players for the upcoming knockout rounds. From their performances, they are very patient and have solid defense.

The odds favor the away team, but the margin is very small. However, a defeat is unlikely.

First pick draw, then away win.

4. South Africa vs South Korea

The home team has one draw and one loss, last in the group. They appear weak based on their performances. The away team has one win and one loss, second in the group. They must go all out for victory. From their matches, they have shown some fighting spirit; losing to Mexico was just bad luck.

The odds strongly favor the away team, and this is a crucial match for advancement, so the away team will give it their all.

Away win.

5. Ecuador vs Germany

The home team has one draw and one loss, third in the group. Their finishing ability is poor. The away team has won both matches and already qualified, but given their character, they will want to secure top spot. From their games, their defense is not as strong as imagined, and they haven't completely dominated opponents.

The odds favor the away team, but the margin is extremely small, not reflecting the true difference in strength. This group match.

First pick away win, then draw.

6. Japan vs Sweden

The home team has one win and one draw, second in the group. Considering the knockout stage, they will strive for a win. From their matches, they are very strong with excellent control of the game.

The away team has one win and one loss, third in the group, just one point behind. They have to go all out. Frankly, only their front line is world-class, while the home team boasts a powerful midfield and forward line with great teamwork, even more "Brazilian" than Brazil.

The odds favor the home team with a decent margin, showing strong confidence from the public. The home team needs at least one point.

First pick home win, then draw.

7. Tunisia vs Netherlands

The home team has been heavily beaten in both matches, seemingly not ready for the World Cup. With a goal difference of 1-9, their confidence is shattered. The defense is like an open floodgate.

The away team's situation is similar to Japan's: to secure top spot, they must win and also aim for a larger goal difference. From their matches, they have shown excellent form.

The odds heavily favor the away team, with a spread of 2 to 2.5 goals, indicating a one-sided match.

Away win.

8. Turkey vs USA

The home team has become the first team with high market value but dismal performances, losing to two average teams. They face criticism, lack confidence, and feel huge pressure.

The away team, as the host, has shown strong fighting spirit and a cohesive system, with both attack and defense in good shape. To secure top spot, they need at least a point.

The odds favor the away team, but given their performances, the margin is very small, not reflecting true form. This clearly accounts for whether the away team will go all out after qualifying. However, given the home team's attacking power, defeating the away team is unlikely, as the host wants to save face.

First pick away win, then draw.

9. Norway vs France

Both teams have qualified; now it's about who takes the top spot for a better knockout path. From their goal differences, the home team's defense has issues, nearly being equalized in a 2-3 game, which was chaotic. The away team appears more composed, perhaps because their opponents were weaker.

The odds favor the away team, but the margin is small. The home team only has Ødegaard and Haaland as strong players; the rest are relatively weak.

Away win.

10. Uruguay vs Spain

The home team has drawn both matches, with a 3-3 goal difference against not-so-strong opponents, indicating problems in both attack and defense. The away team has one win and one draw, almost qualified, but they need at least a draw in the last match to secure top spot.

The odds heavily favor the away team. It makes sense for them to win to reduce the heat from their opening draw, boosting fans' confidence.

Away win.

11. Croatia vs Ghana

Overall, the home team is slightly stronger, but they have aging players. In high temperatures and a packed schedule, stamina is a big test, though experience may compensate. The away team is not bad. Although the odds heavily favor the home team, a draw is worth noting.

First pick home win, then draw.

12. Panama vs England

The away team is likely to rotate, but even so, the odds heavily favor them. That should be fine.

Away win.

13. Colombia vs Portugal

The home team showed decent performance in their first match, with good overall coordination. After the away team's draw in the first game, internal conflicts seem apparent. If Ronaldo plays again, it might backfire.

Although the odds favor the away team, the margin is very small.

First pick away win, then home win.

14. Jordan vs Argentina

From the match against Algeria, the home team's defense is flawed, and stamina issues are evident in the second half. The away team has already secured top spot and will likely rest Messi. Even so, the away team winning again is not a big problem.

Away win.
