The 2018 World Cup knockout stage enters Day 2, where 4 teams will seek to book their ticket to the quarterfinals alongside France and Uruguay, who won yesterday. In Moscow, Spain will look to take out hosts Russia, while in Nizhny Novgorod, Croatia and Denmark will fight it out to earn their place among the final eight.
Spain vs. Russia
What to watch for: Will Spain’s offensive fury finally show itself against Russia? They have the star quality to score a lot of goals, but so far it’s Russia that’s been lighting up the scoreboard. Diego Costa, Isco, and David Silva will need to lead the team if it wants to overcome the home-field advantage that Russia will undoubtedly have.

Croatia vs. Denmark
What to watch for: Croatia has been pummeling teams so far, and Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic have been the best midfield in the tournament. Denmark has the ability to shock them, however. Christian Eriksen can get hot at any time and if he does, look out. The Danes aren’t lying down for anyone, but if Croatia plays the way they’ve been playing, it’s hard to think they won’t be standing tall when the dust settles.
