ArgentinavsSwitzerland

Curator note: Defending champions Argentina, with Messi leading the Golden Boot race and a fully fit squad, meet a Switzerland side into its first quarter-final since 1954 and carrying the tournament most remarkable defensive record — the only team yet to trail at any point across eleven matches. The board makes Argentina a clear favourite (around 55 percent) but prices a low total near 2.2, which frames the whole tie: can Argentina break down a Swiss block that has not been behind all tournament, or does Switzerland frustrate its way to a low-scoring upset. We are watching the lineups; the call comes at kickoff.
