Forsberg will be one of the main men for Sweden this afternoon. The RB Leipzig attacker has enjoyed a good World Cup to date, but he must show more of a cutting edge.

Both these sides are defined by their strength at the back, but they do have quality in the attack. Brazil found that out against Switzerland, as did Mexico against Sweden last week.
14:35
Switzerland have been one of the surprise packages of this World Cup so far. Although perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised by how they have done. They won nine of their 10 qualifiers.

Beyond this lies a quarter final against either Colombia or England. This is a once in a generation chance for everyone on this side of the draw. Croatia are the last big hitters standing.
14:20
The big team news is that there's still no Ibrahimovic for Sweden.. just kidding. Both teams have lined up pretty much as you would expect. This is arguably the most even of the last 16 ties.
