Portugal vs Switzerland: prediction for the 2022 FIFA World Cup match
Portugal and Switzerland will lock horns in the Round of 16 on December, 6. Who will progress to the quarterfinals? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Portugal
PortugalIn 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
SwitzerlandSwitzerland 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.

Tip and bets
We expect the teams to focus on their defenses. Switzerland will hope to get a goal on a counterattack, and Portugal will probably try to control the ball. In three out of four games of Switzerland, there were no more than two goals, so we recommend taking the under.
Our prediction — total under 2.5 goals
This game might be quite unpredictable. Both sides have strong teams and we believe that 90 minutes might not be enough to determine the winner. We will bet on a draw in full time.
