The second matchday of Groups C and D will take place on June 3, with two sides in each group needing the victory, and two more trying to seal their spot among the final sixteen teams. In the first Group, Portugal and Colombia will try to confirm their chances, while Qatar and Senegal need at least one point to keep their progression hopes alive. The other four teams that complete this matchday are Uruguay, Mali, Serbia and Mexico.
Group C: Qatar vs Portugal
Qatar nearly pulled a stunner against Colombia in their first outing, but they had their efforts cancelled even after completing a rather satisfying game. This time around, the Asian team will face Portugal, which also struggled to make themselves felt in their game against Senegal. Striker André Silva will be the man to watch for the Qatari defense, in order to keep their next round hopes alive
Group D: Mexico vs Uruguay
El Tri and Los Charruas were deemed as the favorite sides to win this group, but a shocking loss against Mali has left the Mexicans a little bit groggy. After having two players sent off, coach Sergio Almaguer must be clinical in his substitutions, so his team can defeat a tough South American side. The Uruguayans have one of the best players in this World Cup defending their posts: none other than Gastón Guruceaga. The shot-stopper had a wonderful match against Serbia, helping his side secure a tight 1-0 win.
Group C: Senegal vs Colombia
Another do-or-die match. The Lions of Teranga had a disappointing debut, conceding three times against the Portuguese side. Even if they managed to win against the powerful South Americans, they have to do so comfortably in order to cancel their goal differential. For the Colombian side, a 1-0 win over Qatar may have set some doubts about their real chances of winning the tournament, but they will try to prove they only had a bad day facing the Qataris, and every team should consider them a serious contender.
Group D: Serbia vs Mali
Even after a tight 1-0 loss to the Uruguayan, Serbia displayed the class that made them qualify as the best side in Europe, but couldn't get past the South American keeper. The Europeans will try to make the most out of this game since the playing style of the African team wasn't as scary as you would think. The Africans on the other hand, will try to build on their 2-0 win over Mexico in order to secure their place among the final 16 teams.
