Match Previews: Group A, Round 2

Who: Russia vs. Portugal
When: June 21 @ 11 AM EST
Where: Otkrytiye Arena, Moscow
Watch: FS1, Telemundo (TV); Fox Sports Go (Streaming)
Prediction: 2-0 Portugal - Portugal will rebound from their disappointing draw against Mexico and easily beat Russia. They will have trouble scoring to start but will break through in the second half. I believe Andre Gomes and Ronaldo will both work together on the two goals, pushing Russia to an elimination game with Mexico on Saturday.

Who: Mexico vs. New Zealand
When: June 21 @ 2 PM EST
Where: Fisht Olympic Stadium, Sochi
Watch: FS1, Telemundo (TV); Fox Sports Go (Streaming)
Prediction: 3-0 Mexico - Another lopsided Group A affair will occur in the same day as New Zealand struggled mightily against by far their easily opponent (Russia), and more of the same will again happen tomorrow. Mexico will have tons of great opportunities to score, and will have goals from attacking stars, such as Chicharito, Giovani Dos Santos, Raul Jimenez, and others.

Better defense is needed if New Zealand has any chance of getting a result.
