Serbia vs. Switzerland Tip

Details:

Serbia came into the World Cup as a team that may surprise many. They have great individuals in the offensive line and goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic Savic has proven to be an extra-class keeper. However, Serbia didn’t get much use of all that as they are only with one point heading to the third round match. Serbia lost 2-0 to Brazil and basically had the win in their hands against Cameroon. The Serbs were 3-1 up and dominated the game but all that went down in only four minutes and they won only a point in this game. The only way for Serbia to advance is to defeat Switzerland on Friday assuming that Cameroon will not defeat Brazil.

Switzerland had a great start of the competition with a routine win over Cameroon. They controlled the pace of the game and won very important three points which can send them to the next round. In the second game against Brazil, the Swiss players were on the needed level as well but Brazil is simply too good and found the way to score and leave Switzerland with only 3 points.

Switzerland is now in a good position going into the game against Serbia with two-point advantage over their next opponent and Cameroon. That means that all this team needs to advance is to avoid a loss to Serbia.

Key facts

• Serbia has their full roster available for today
• Noah Okafor is out for Switzerland
• These two teams played in the group phase at the 2018 World Cup when Switzerland won 2-1

This is one of the most expected games of the third round of the group stage at the World Cup. Serbia is going into this game with a must-win attitude trying not just to make it up for the draw against Cameroon but also for the loss to Switzerland four years ago in Russia. Serbia has quality individuals that not always play well together. Manager Dragan Stojkovic has no other choice but to go in offensive mode in this game starting more than just one striker which was the case in the previous two games. Aleksandar Mitrovic had plenty of scoring opportunities in the previous game and scored only one goal. Dusan Vlahovic will start in this game and he will probably be the man to change things up for Serbia. Switzerland has a good team as well, and will be able to defend most of the time. However, one brilliant move by the Serbian side will make the difference and Serbia will win this one to advance to the next stage.
