Brazil and Switzerland will face each other at the Education City Stadium in the second round match of Group G fixtures
on Monday at 11am ET. Both teams won their opening games in the tournament. While, Brazil beat Serbia 2-0, Switzerland won 1-0 against Cameroon.
Brazil are looking to seal their berth in the next round by winning against Switzerland in today’s match.
Though, things aren’t quite so simple for the Selecao. Star man Neymar has been ruled out of the group stages, due to an ankle injury.
A Breel Embolo goal was enough to see Switzerland past Senegal 1-0 in their opening match.
Preview :
With a resounding win in their opening fixture, Brazil lived up to those expectations placed on them before the finals.
Brazil are one of the favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup and have been in impressive form going into the tournament.
Brazil have not lost since the 2021 Copa America final defeat to Argentina, a run of 16 matches unbeaten with 13 wins and three draws.
Last Win against Serbia was eighth successive victory for the five-time World Cup winners, Those eight wins have seen them score 28 goals.
As Neymar has been ruled out of the group stages, along with Danilo, due to an ankle injury without them it will be tougher,
but this Brazil side have incredible talent and will be well suited to weather their absence.
On the hand, Switzerland are a formiddable side too capable of a few big upsets in the past, such as taking down Spain in September.
Switzerland are looking to win their opening two games at a World Cup for the first time.
They last won consecutive games in 2006 tournament against Togo and South Korea.
