The Round of 16 continues with two blockbuster encounters as Portugal face Spain and the USA take on Belgium.

Here are the big questions on Day 26.

What games are on today?

Portugal v Spain

Two European heavyweights renew one of international football's fiercest rivalries with a place in the quarter-finals at stake.

Portugal booked their place in the Round of 16 after edging past Croatia 2-1 in a dramatic contest. Roberto Martínez's side showed resilience under pressure and continue to boast one of the tournament's deepest squads, led by veteran captain Cristiano Ronaldo alongside Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leão.

Spain reached this stage in impressive fashion with a commanding 3-0 victory over Austria. Luis de la Fuente's side have looked increasingly convincing as the tournament has progressed, with their possession-based football complemented by the creativity of Lamine Yamal, Pedri and captain Rodri.

Our prediction: Portugal 1-2 Spain

USA v Belgium

The final Round of 16 tie of the day sees the hosts looking to continue their dream run against one of Europe's most talented yet frustrating squads.

The United States earned their place in the knockout stage with a composed 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mauricio Pochettino's young side have grown in confidence throughout the tournament and will be buoyed by home support, while striker Folarin Balogun is available after his suspension was overturned.

Belgium advanced after overcoming Senegal 3-2 in an entertaining contest. Although the Red Devils have shown defensive vulnerabilities, their attacking quality remains unquestionable, with a squad capable of punishing even the smallest mistakes.

Belgium may have experience but USA have momentum. This is going to be absolutely fascinating.

Our prediction: USA 2-1 Belgium

Which player should I look out for?

Lamine Yamal has already shown why he is regarded as one of world football's greatest.

The Spain winger has lit up the tournament with his pace, creativity and fearless dribbling. Capable of producing moments of magic from seemingly impossible situations, Yamal has the talent to decide one of the biggest matches of the World Cup and could be the difference against Portugal.

Can you give me one stat to impress my friends?

Belgium have won all three previous World Cup meetings with the United States, including their dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory in the 2014 Round of 16, despite American goalkeeper Tim Howard making a then-World Cup record 15 saves in the match.
