#PredictWorldCupWin40000U


Of the three favorites, Switzerland looks the most vulnerable, so Algeria would be the team with the best chance of causing an upset for me.
Here's how I would rank the surprise potential:
1. 🇩🇿 Algeria beats Switzerland – Switzerland are rightly the favourites, but not by a huge margin. Algeria have already shown resilience in this tournament and have enough speed and attacking quality to punish mistakes. This seems to be the most balanced of the three matchups.
2. 🇭🇷 Croatia beats Portugal – This wouldn't be a huge surprise. Portugal have more star power, but Croatia's experienced midfield and experience in knockout matches make them dangerous in a single-match encounter, especially if it goes to extra time or penalties.
3. 🇦🇹 Austria beats Spain – Austria are well-organized and press aggressively, but Spain comes in as one of the tournament favourites, unbeaten for a long time and possessing one of the best defenses in the tournament. This would be the biggest surprise of the three matches.
My predictions:
* Spain 2–0 Austria
* Portugal 2–1 Croatia (probably after extra time)
* Switzerland 2–1 Algeria
If I had to choose a surprise, I think Algeria will eliminate Switzerland.

Algeria truly has what it takes—resilience is there, and their counter-attack speed is on point. If Switzerland underestimates them, they could very well have a real meltdown.
