Germany vs Mexico | Germany First Half 1X2 @ 2.11 |
| June 17, 23:00(GMT+8) |
It’s hard making history – but no-one forgets you if you do.
And so Germany embark on a bid to be crowned back-to-back world champions.
The last time that feat was achieved was Brazil with the great Pele in 1958 and 1962.
More than half a century on, four-time kings of the world Germany attempt to emulate Brazil and Italy (1934 and 1938) by becoming only the third nation to defend their World Cup crown.
Having reached at least the semi-finals of every tournament since and including 2002, Joachim Low and his men have undoubted pedigree and crushed the Mexicans 4-1 en route to the Confederations Cup success last summer.
Mexico’s only victory over the Germans was 33 years ago, and El Tri have clear talent and pace to boot.
The Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow should host an exciting Group F encounter, but I can’t see history changing.

Costa Rica vs Serbia | Over 2.25 Goals @ 2.26 |
| June 17, 20:00(GMT+8) |
They upset the odds to reach the quarter-finals four years ago, so what are the chances of a repeat for Los Ticos?
That seemed unthinkable at the time but Costa Rica dare to dream again.
And why not after a taste of it in 2014 when they knocked out Italy and England on their way to the last eight.
They have been inconsistent in the build-up to the tournament, however, losing five of their seven friendlies.
Serbia are back on the world stage after missing out four years ago and have optimism even if coach Mladen Krstajic – who took over after Slavoljub Muslin guided them through qualifying – has overseen a mixed bag of results since being appointed last October.

Belgium vs Panama | Belgium Asian Handicap -2.00 @ 1.97 |
| June 18, 23:00(GMT+8) |
This is when the party really begins for Panama.
If you thought that moment arrived when their president declared a national holiday upon qualification last October, then you are in for a surprise.
Because now it will really hit home.
Every Panamanian is pinching themselves, and the minnows are determined to make the most of their maiden appearance.
Despite losing only once since he was appointed in 2016, Belgium coach Roberto Martinez is under pressure to guide arguably the nation’s most talented group of footballers to success.
A quarter-final exit at Euro 2016 led to the departure of Marc Wilmots, and that will be the minimum target for Martinez and assistant Thierry Henry this time.
The Red Devils have international class in every area, and this has the potential to be a romp.
Even in defeat, Panama will presumably be happy so long as they avoid a hammering and give a good account of themselves.
