Serbia and Switzerland will face each other in the closing match of the World Cup 2022 group stage. The Eagles need to go for a victory, while Switzerland will aim to remain undefeated in this encounter.
Serbia Preview & Team News
Serbia could be in second place at the end of round two. Instead, they find themselves in the fourth position of group G. The Eagles were leading Cameroon by 3-1 in the second half but had to settle for a draw after conceding twice in three minutes. With that, Serbia has one point after two rounds and needs to beat Switzerland and hope that Brazil doesn’t lose to Cameroon as well to qualify. The Eagles have a lot of talent in their team who play for the top European teams. Coach Stojkovic will hope his team can maintain its scoring form, but a lot of work needs to be done in defense that let in five goals in two matches. Switzerland was more successful in World Cup 2018 in Russia when these two sides met last time, but we’ll see what the outcome will be this time.
Switzerland Preview & Team News
After a fine matchday one win over Cameroon, Switzerland failed to repeat their 1-1 draw with Brazil in 2018 and lost to the Selecao on Monday. Nevertheless, the Red Crosses need a draw in their third game with Serbia, given that Brazil doesn’t lose to Cameroon by a big margin. In their match against Brazil, coach Murat Yakin adopted a compact defense to close down the spaces for the Selecao. That plan almost worked, but the Swiss conceded for the eighth time in the last ten fixtures. Moreover, the Red Crosses couldn’t find a single shot at Brazil’s goal. It will be interesting to see if they can resist Serbia’s talented offense.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be an exciting encounter, as these two sides will likely decide who will progress to the Round of 16. The game can easily go either way, but we think Serbia might be a bit closer to victory and their first knockout-stage participation after 24 years.
Goals Market Prediction
Switzerland will be mostly focused on a firm defensive block, as a point could secure them a place in the knockout stage. It’s going to be a tight clash, with no more than two goals in total.
