Gbandeh's FIFA World Cup quarter-final predictions
On the Morocco versus France fixture, Gbandeh, in his Facebook post, described it as a contest between two excellent sides.
He predicted neither team would settle the tie within 90 minutes or in extra time, foreseeing a penalty shootout in which Les Bleus would ultimately fall short and be eliminated.
For Spain against Belgium, he was more decisive, backing La Roja's possession-based style to assert dominance and secure victory in regular time, sending the Reds home.
The England versus Norway match was, in Gbandeh's view, the hardest to call.
He predicted a draw after 90 minutes but saw Norway progressing, dealing Harry Kane and his teammates a 'shock' early exit.
On the final quarter-final between Argentina and Switzerland, Gbandeh acknowledged that the Swiss would push the defending champions hard, matching them throughout.
He still backed La Albiceleste to find a winning moment in extra time, with their talisman proving the difference, but saw the Nati going no further.

"I hope your judgement of France Morocco is not influenced by allegiance."
Richard Tamba Ellie said:
"Trust me, the predictions are emotionally charged. Aren't you watching France games? Morocco is playing well but they can't eliminate France. I guess you don't want Argentina to meet France in the final if they make it, with this statistics of Argentina, France will ride on them."
Sahr David Banga said:
"We all know that Argentina will see the next stage 😆. As usual, Switzerland 🇨🇭 will be the next scape goats of the rigging and rubbery."
Seyi Victor George said:
"France vs Morocco will end in regular time."
