Uruguay and France square off in a quarterfinals match where the French are heavily favored. They took out Argentina in their round of 16 match where they came back from 2-1 in the 2nd half to score three unanswered goals and hang on for the win.

Uruguay dispatched Portugal in their last game with two impressive goals from Edinson Cavani. However, the big news for the South American outfit is that he may miss this match after liming off late in the 2-1 win over Portugal. Tests have showed no muscle tear, but he is still reported to be in pain and it is doubtful if the PSG striker will be match fit.

The French have issues of their own with Blaise Matuidi suspended and Benjamin Mendy and Blaise Matuidi are injured. The loss of the later would be a tough one and he limped out of training on Monday, but, obviously, hopes to play.

French teenage budding star Kylian Mbappe has four goals in the tournament, six in his last seven starts for Les Bleus’, and he netted two beautiful goals in the 4-3 win over Argentina.

France only gave up one goal in their three group matches before giving up three in the win over Argentina.

He will likely not play and the attack will suffer.

The French showed their resilience in coming from a goal down in the 2nd half in the win over Argentina and they will show it in this game.

However, while they will not keep a clean sheet they will get the 2-1 win keeping their unbeaten streak alive in World Cup play against South American squads and in the process head to the semifinals.
