This is betting on Belgium to go through no matter how it happens whether it be 90 minutes, 120 or penalty.
ANALYSIS - SPAIN v SWITZERLAND
I've gone for the BTTS in this fixture even though it has the potential to be higher scoring. We saw both sides involved in 6+ goal thrillers in the round of 16.
Neither team looked solid in defence but both looked more than capable going forward. Naturally you think goals but I'm expecting something more like 1-1 or 1-2 to Spain in the 90 minutes.
Xhaka is out for Switzerland which immediately diminishes their solidity in central midfield.
Spain should have scored even more goals than they should have this tournament. Their striker (Morata), has excellent movement, work rate and so on, but his finishing really lets him down at times. If he has a good day Spain will score at least 2.
Spain did lose to Switzerland when they laced faced off in the 2010 World Cup. Since then both sides have changed drastically apart from 1 or 2 names.
ANALYSIS - BELGIUM v ITALY
Based on how the shape of the draw is going, England have a clear path on the one side if they take their opportunities.
On this side of the draw, I have a feeling that the winner of this game will reach the final and meet England.
Italy have been very sold and very good all tournament. I did mention that i wondered if they would struggle a bit playing away from home and they did - they drew the tie.
Belgium will make late injury calls on key players (Eden Hazard and De Bruyne).
If either of these or both play, I expect Belgium to pip Italy. Either a draw on the 90 and from there on, I don't know, otherwise Belgium 1-0. I am leaning to 1-1 though but we will see.
Italy are actually the favourites but that 'away' factor will be the difference in my opinion. Belgium are also away from home (obviously), but I sense they're a bit more equipped for this.

They had a lay on a game in Norway yesterday and it won and increased the bank.
