Neymar has sparked into life in recent games for Brazil.
Both sides have looked competent against inferior opposition in the round of 16, but neither have looked the sum of their parts. Belgium should be much harder for Brazil to break down and they should also test them at the back much more than before.
Prediction:Belgium 1-2 Brazil after extra-time
Sweden vs England - Saturday 7 July - 3pm kick-off

The Swedes had 36 per cent possession against Switzerland. They were solid, well-organised, dangerous from set-pieces and took their chance. England need to open them up early and they will have to match them physically. Key man will be Jesse Lingard. Although it is Harry Kane who gets the goals, it is Lingard’s movement that opens up difficult opponents by exploiting the space.
Prediction: England 2-0 Sweden
Russia vs Croatia - Saturday 7 July - 7pm kick-off
Luka Modric celebrates Croatia's penalty shoot-out win over Denmark
Luka Modric celebrates Croatia's penalty shoot-out win over Denmark.
Hard to see Russia abandoning the approach that did for Spain. They will concede possession, sit deep and hope Croatia become exhausted trying to break them down. But Spain did not have a playmaker at the peak of his powers like Luka Modric, who has a case for being the best player at the tournament, even taking into account the missed penalty. Always finds a way..
Prediction: Croatia 2-1 Russia
