Betting on Switzerland | 3 points – 2nd place
Switzerland defeated Cameroon in their opener, but are coming off a 1-0 loss to Brazil, which sent the South American team through to the next round. They played a good game thanks to an orderly performance, but Brazil’s individual talent was too much for the Europeans to handle.
From the disciplinary point of view, Switzerland will not have any absences, although it remains to be seen how the physical condition of the 11 starters who played last Monday will evolve. If there are no problems, the coach, Murat Yakin, will repeat the formation of the last match.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): YannSommer, Silvan Widmer, Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi, Ricardo Rodriguez Araya, Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka; Fabian Rieder, Djibril Sow, Ruben Vargas, Breel Embolo.
Betting on Serbia | 1 point – 4th place
The Serbian team performance in this World Cup has been far below expectations. They started their match against Cameroon losing, managed to get 3-1 and when they were about to score one or two more goals, in a few minutes the African team managed to equalize. It was a game plenty of emotions and action on the scoreboard.
They are a team with a lot of individual talent, but if they don’t order their back line, their participation in the Qatar World Cup will remain in the group stage.
In Serbia, no player will be left out due to yellow cards, so the next few hours will be crucial in the evaluation of the coach, Dragan Stojkovic, thinking about the starting lineup. There will undoubtedly be changes in defense, but as of this writing, no injuries or tactical modifications have been reported.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Vanja Milinković-Savić, Nikola Milenković, Miloš Veljković, Strahinja Pavlović, Andrija Živković, Nemanja Maksimović, Saša Lukić, Filip Kostić, Dušan Tadić, Sergej Milinković-Savić, Aleksandar Mitrović.
JefeBet Prediction
Because of the attacking vocation shown against Cameroon, and the ability to recover from an adverse result, at JefeBet we believe that Serbia has what it takes to beat Switzerland.
They will have to bring out their stars, such as Dušan Tadić or Sergej Milinković-Savić, while the defense will have to give a hand to the goalkeeper, who is having a very good World Cup. If they win, they will have to wait for the result between Brazil vs Cameroon to know whether or not they qualify for the next round.
Prediction: Serbia wins 2-0.
