Ivory Coast reached the knockout stage for the first time in their fourth World Cup appearance after winning 1-0 over Ecuador, losing 1-2 to Germany, and beating Curaçao 2-0 to finish second in Group E. Their record this year is strong with 7 wins and 2 losses in 9 games, including 6 clean sheets. The bad news is that key right-back Wilfried Singo remains sidelined with a hamstring injury; Gervais Dué is expected to start in his place. Other main players remain, led by Ahmad Diallo, Jean-Dioulasso Diomandé, Nicolas Pépé, Franck Kessié, and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Norway has advanced to the knockout stage for the first time in 28 years after defeating Iraq 4-1 and Senegal 3-1, then resting their starters in a 1-4 loss to France to finish second in Group I. In their last 10 matches, they lost only twice, won five, and drew three, with only one clean sheet (0-0 vs Switzerland in March). This will be their first meeting with Ivory Coast. They will likely miss key right-back Julian Ryerson due to injury; Fredrik Aursnes may drop from midfield to cover. The main squad is ready, including star striker Erling Haaland, Martin Ødegaard, Alexander Sørloth, Sander Berge, and Antonio Nusa. Overall, Norway looks slightly stronger and has a chance to narrowly win.
Match prediction Norway edges Ivory Coast narrowly.

France is a strong contender for their third World Cup title after a perfect 9 points in group play, beating Senegal 3-1, Iraq 3-0, and thrashing Norway 4-1 with a hat-trick from Ousmane Dembélé, even against second-string opponents. They have lost only once in 7 games this year, a friendly defeat to Ivory Coast 1-2, winning all others. William Saliba, rested last match due to a lingering back injury, may return to replace Maxence Lacroix. Central midfield should see Aurélien Tchouaméni and Adrien Rabiot back. The attacking four remain intact: Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise, and Désiré Doué.
Sweden advanced to the knockout stage by dominating Tunisia 5-1, losing to the Netherlands by the same score, and drawing 1-1 with Japan to finish third, one of the best third-placed teams. Their form this year is steady: 3 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses in 7 games. Against France, they have won only 6 of 23 encounters, losing 12, including 5 of the last 6. Key defender Isak Hien is injured, forcing Victor Lindelöf to drop back from midfield to defense. Although their attack features talents like Anthony Elanga, Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, and Yasin Ayari, overall quality still falls short of France.
Match prediction France narrowly defeats Sweden to advance.

Mexico, hosting the World Cup for the first time in three editions, has shown strong form by winning all nine points in group play: 2-0 over South Africa, 1-0 over South Korea, and 3-0 over the Czech Republic, winning Group A without conceding a goal. They have won 6 consecutive matches and remain unbeaten in 11 games this year (9 wins, 2 draws). The squad is healthy, with star striker Raúl Jiménez returning after rest, partnering with Julián Quiñones, who scored twice, and Roberto Alvarado.
Ecuador advanced narrowly after losing 0-1 to Ivory Coast, drawing 0-0 with Curaçao, and beating Germany 2-1 with rested starters, finishing third in Group E as one of the best third-placed teams. Their record this year is 3 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss in 7 games. Against Mexico, they have won only 3 of 16 matches, losing 8 and drawing 5. Their squad is intact with key players Moisés Caicedo, Piero Hincapié, William Pacho, Gonzalo Plata, Nilson Angulo, and Enner Valencia, but recent form is inferior to the hosts.
Match prediction Mexico narrowly beats Ecuador to advance.
