So we have made it to the final day of group games at the World Cup. There’s four games to look forward to before the knockout action of the last 16 begins on Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know about today’s matches.
Ghana v Uruguay - Group H
Where: Al Janoub Stadium, Al-Wakrah
When: 3pm (GMT) / 6pm (AST)
TV: BBC Two, BBC iPlayer
Last meeting: Ghana 1-1* Uruguay (Uruguay won on penalties, World Cup 2010)

Preview: Well, it writes itself doesn’t it? Luis Suarez’s handball off the line in the 2010 World Cup quarter-final knocked Ghana out of that tournament and they haven’t forgiven him. Uruguay are currently bottom of the group and need to win to qualify, while Ghana’s 3-2 win over South Korea has taken them to second spot as things stand. They only need a point to qualify, if Portugal beat South Korea. A win would guarantee their progression.
Betfred match odds: Ghana 4/1, Draw 11/4, Uruguay 8/11
Favourites for first goalscorer: Darwin Nunez 4/1, Edinson Cavani 9/2, Luis Suarez 9/2, Inaki Wiliams 8/1

Preview: Cristiano Ronaldo may not have got on the scoresheet, but Portugal are safely through to the last 16 after that 2-0 win over Uruguay. They’ve been helped out by two contentious penalties in their opening two matches, but have two wins to their name. A point here will guarantee top spot. Meanwhile, South Korea have to win to have any chance of getting through after their heartbreaking defeat to Ghana.
Betfred match odds: South Korea 9/2, Draw 16/5, Portugal 8/13

Cameroon squad: 1 Simon Ngapandouetnbu , 2 Jerome Ngom Mbekeli, 3 NicolasNkoulou, 4 Christopher Wooh, 5 Gael Ondoua, 6 Moumi Ngamaleu, 7 Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, 8 Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, 9 Jean-Pierre Nsame, 10 Vincent Aboubakar, 11 Christian Bassogog, 12 Karl Toko Ekambi, 13 Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, 14 Samuel Gouet, 15 Pierre Kunde, 16 Devis Epassy, 17 Olivier Mbaizo, 18 Martin Hongla, 19 Collins Fai, 20 Bryan Mbeumo, 21 Jean-Charles Castelletto, 22 Olivier Ntcham, 23 Andre Onana, 24 Enzo Ebosse, 25 Nouhou Tolo, 26 Souaibou Marou

Preview: Tournament favourites Brazil are also through to the last 16 but need a point here to secure top spot. They’ll once again be without Neymar and Danilo, a pair that will hopefully return for the knockout stages, and Tite could ring the changes here with such a talented squad. Meanwhile Cameroon need an unlikely three points to have any chance of overhauling Switzerland in second. Anything less than a win will see them knocked out and the odds reflect that.
Betfred match odds: Cameroon 14/1, Draw 5/1, Brazil 1/4
Favourites for first goalscorer: Richarlison 3/1, Gabriel Jesus 7/2, Vinicius Jr 5/1
Featured bet: Brazil -1, 8/11

Preview: Serbia’s World Cup comes down to this. After throwing away a 3-1 lead against Cameroon, now they must beat Switzerland to stand a chance of progressing. In fact, a win is likely to be enough if Brazil, as expected, beat Cameroon. A draw for the Swiss is likely to be enough unless Cameroon pull off a huge shock.
