A place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup awaits for the team that will prevail here. Portugal are slight favorites on paper due to their talented squad but Switzerland have proven that they can rise to the occasion when needed. These teams already played each other this year twice in the UEFA Nations League, each winning their home game. We expect an epic game in this neutral venue. In our preview of the game, we promote 10Bet and 1xBet bookmakers.

PORTUGAL

Portugal won their group after winning their first two matches against Ghana (3-2) and Uruguay (2-0) before losing to South Korea 2-1 in the final group game. The Portuguese are favorites to win this tie and make it to the quarter-finals for the first time since 1966. In the last two World Cup editions, Portugal were knocked out at this round of 16 stage and coach Fernando Santos will be keen to avoid a repeat of the same.

Portugal scored 6 goals in the group stage of this year’s World Cup. They have a good collection of attacking talent led by Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bernado Silva. Scoring goals should thus not be a problem in this game, but they know they will still have to work hard against a very organized Swiss side.

SWITZERLAND

Switzerland beat Serbia 3-2 in their last game to qualify as the second team from their group behind Brazil. It was a hard-fought, feisty match that showed Switzerland’s resilience. The victory was also a huge morale booster, especially considering the political undertones linked to the game. If they can carry that momentum into this game then there will be lots of optimism.

Switzerland will remember that they lost 4-0 to Portugal in June this year before winning the 2nd leg 1-0 in the UEFA Nations League. Coach Murat Yakin has promised to give Portugal a tough match in this encounter. If they can win this match, they will make history as the first Swiss team to win 3 games at a World Cup tournament.
