Spain v Brazil
17:00 in Santiago
17:00 in Brasilia
22:00 in Madrid
The capital plays host to a titanic tussle between two sides yet to alight in Chile. A first victory for either gives them a shot at the second round, while a draw could offer Brazil a third-place lifeline.
Players to watch
Pablo Garcia
Spain battled hard against Mexico and Real Betis man Garcia was arguably their star, stitching plays together and marking his display with a stunning goal.
Wesley
A rare bright spark for Brazil last time out, it was Wesley’s late cross which helped win his side a penalty. He’ll need to bring his A-game here.
Mexico v Morocco
14:00 in Mexico City
17:00 in Valparaiso
21:00 in Rabat
Mexico have shown fighting spirit in bucket loads at these finals, notching late levellers in both matches so far. A win here against a Morocco side already assured of first place takes them to the knockouts, but anything less leaves it up to chance.
Players to watch
Diego Ochoa
A towering presence in box boxes, Ochoa scored the equaliser against Brazil and made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny Spain’s Iker Bravo.
Gessime Yassine
Morocco’s midfield maestro has been involved in all four of their goals so far, recording two assists and scoring one himself to cement his place among the early tournament stars.
Argentina v Italy
20:00 in Valparaiso
20:00 in Buenos Aires
01:00 on Sunday in Rome
Both could have secured their knockout berth last time out, but only Argentina managed it as ten-player Italy let slip a two-goal lead against Cuba. A win for the Azzurini puts them top, while a draw confirms second. Defeat could extend their time in Chile depending on results elsewhere.
Players to watch
Ian Subiabre
Argentina forward Subiabre has played just 34 minutes at these finals but already has two goals from the bench. With his side assured of progress to the last 16, he could well earn a start here.
Cristian Cama
It was Cama’s inch-perfect pass which split Australia open to win them a penalty on Matchday 1, and the full-back was on the money again last time time out, delivering a peach of a cross for Jamal Iddrissou to net.
Australia v Cuba
19:00 in Havana
20:00 in Santiago
09:00 on Sunday in Canberra
Back-to-back defeats means Australia’s only hope is finishing as one of the four best third-placed sides. To do that, they’ll need to win here and wish on favourable results elsewhere. Cuba, for their part, know a win could see them into second.
Players to watch
Daniel Bennie
Australia’s all-action winger has been a source of attacking inspiration in both matches so far, and netted their first goal of these finals against Argentina.
Michael Camejo
Cuba’s lively frontman became the first player in 14 years to score two penalties in an U-20 World Cup match against Italy. They’ll look to him for further inspiration here.
