World Cup Round of 16 schedule today (July 1): "Russian Bear" determined to win
Even though they have to face Spain, the host team Russia is still determined to create a surprise in the match of the 1/8 round of the 2018 World Cup tonight.
The first two matches of the 2018 World Cup round of 16 were exciting. France defeated Argentina 4-3. Meanwhile, Uruguay defeated EURO champions Portugal 2-1.
Tonight, the next two knockout matches will take place with the notable appearance of host Russia. Only ranked 2nd in Group A, Russia will have to face championship candidate Spain.
In terms of strength and reputation, Russia is far behind Spain at this point. However, they still have one factor that can make a difference: mental strength. Having been heavily criticized before the tournament, Russia played explosively and won a ticket to the round of 16 after only 2 matches. The World Cup host team is also one of the teams with the most goals in the tournament (8 goals) at the moment.

In the next match, Croatia will face Denmark. Having won all 3 matches in the group stage, Croatia is highly regarded. On the contrary, Denmark is doubtful as they only advanced with 2 goals.
Although Denmark have kept a clean sheet in 2/3 of their matches, it is difficult to say that they have a solid defense. On the contrary, this team relies heavily on the excellent form of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. Therefore, against a strong and especially stubborn opponent like Croatia, the "tin soldiers" have very little chance of winning.
