After extending his perfect record in the knockout stage with another correct prediction at the Gulf News event, Shawk the Hawk is back for a double prediction.

The internet wanted it. The fans demanded it. Now the feathered forecaster has two massive FIFA World Cup Round of 16 clashes to call.

First up is Egypt against Australia. Mohamed Salah is back fit and ready to lead the Pharaohs, although there is still uncertainty over whether he will start or come off the bench. Can Egypt book their place in the quarter finals, or will Australia spring a surprise?

Then comes Argentina against tournament surprise package Cabo Verde. The island nation has captured hearts with its remarkable World Cup run, but standing in its way is Lionel Messi's Argentina. Can Cabo Verde produce another famous upset, or will the world champions prove too strong?

Watch both of Shawk's predictions below and see whether his incredible knockout streak continues.
