Soccer Monday: Miller on FIFA U20 World Cup Round of 16 - Ukraine v Panama, Uruguay v Ecuador, Senegal v Nigeria

Sean Miller

There are three games Monday at the FIFA U20 World Cup, after two close matches Sunday. A look at the odds shows that there might be more of the same, with two matches expected to be very tight.

An all West African affair highlights the day's action, with Senegal and Nigeria set to battle. Both teams had good group stages, and will think they have a chance to go on and win the tournament if they can get past this round.

Group D winner Ukraine is a heavy favorite over Panama, and should take care of business relatively easy.
