Women's World Cup | Round of 16

Eden Park
We said: Switzerland Women 0-1 Spain Women
With Switzerland's previous two games resulting in goalless draws, we expect Saturday's last-16 tie to be another cagey affair.
Spain may have to be patient in their quest to break down the Switzerland defence, but we think that they have enough quality in the final third to find a way through and claim a narrow victory.
