LiontipsPortugal vs Switzerland. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 FIFA World Cup (December 6, 2022).
Command Analysis
In 2014,Portugal failed to qualify for the knockouts. This time, the team secured their second consecutive qualification - Fernando Santos' team won the group. In the previous two tournaments when Portugal won the group (1966 and 2006), the team made it into the semifinals.
Portugal defeated Ghana (3:2) and Uruguay (2:0), but lost to South Korea (1:2) in the last group game. Mendes, Otavio, and Pereira are all sidelined with injuries.
Switzerland finished in 2nd place in Group G - this is their third consecutive round of 16 at World Cups. Murat Yakin's men beat Serbia (3:2) and Cameroon (1:0), but suffered a narrow defeat to Brazil (0:1). The team defeated Portugal last year in the Nations League, but it will be very difficult to get a win in the upcoming game, especially since goalkeeper Yann Sommer is injured. Moreover, Switzerland have never won three games in a row.
