Much like the first match of the day, this meeting between two hockey giants is steeped in tradition. The sides have met an epic 23 times, with host Pakistan holding the clear advantage with 16 wins, 7 draws and zero losses (includes Great Britain results as well). Yes, that’s right, never have the Pakistan lost against Netherlands and add to the lopsided record the fact that Pakistan has out-scored Netherlands nearly two to one in those meetings (61-30). But there is hope for the northern nation, Netherlands had also never won against Pakistan prior to this edition of the Champions Trophy and managed to put that streak to an end with a win on Sunday. Clearly the young English squad is unfazed by previous results and Thursday could be Netherlands’s chance to at last get the elusive victory against the Pakistan, despite history being in the hosts’ favour.

Germany vs. Pakistan:
These two teams are familiar foes at the Champions Trophy, having already met an amazing 27 times (including West Germany). The Germans have the advantage in the head-to-head meetings, with 12 wins, 9 losses and six draws. But what is noteworthy is the fact that Germany has scored only two more goals than Pakistan in all those meetings despite holding the clearly stronger record. If previous results are the crystal ball for tomorrow’s game, look for Germany to win by a slim margin.

Netherlands vs. New Zealand:
The Dutch are one of the most experienced teams at the Champions Trophy and will take on one of the relative rookies in their quarterfinal meeting against New Zealand. Despite lack of Champions Trophy caps for the Black Sticks, the two nations have still met six times in Champions Trophy history. The Dutch have won four of those meetings, drawn once and lost only once. The lone loss came in 2010 in a 3-1 preliminary round decision. The cards are definitely stacked against the Black Sticks historically in Thursday's game. Add to the fact that the Netherlands is the top seed out of its pool and it means New Zealand will have to bring their A Game tomorrow to stay in the hunt for a medal.

India vs. Belgium:
When the top-seeded Indians square off against the fourth-seeded Belgians, it is truly anyone’s guess what will happen. This is Belgium’s first Champions Trophy appearance in the small nation’s history, and they are still looking for their first point at this level after going 0-3 in the preliminary round. India had a spectacular preliminary round, but also has limited recent experience at the Champions Trophy with their last appearance at the event coming in 2005. The history books are no help in predicting the winner of this one, so our tip is to simply hold on to your hats and enjoy the ride.
