Yahoo Movies Switzerland World Cup 2022 results, squad list, fixtures and latest odds
Switzerland are in a strong position to reach the knockouts despite losing 1-0 to Brazil in their second game.
The Swiss have lost only two of their last 13 group matches at the World Cup but this was not a high-octane affair, with no attempts on target by the team and Brazil taking the win through Casemiro's late strike.
"I can't really blame the team, it did a good job for quite some time," Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said through a translator. "I don't think it's a disappointment. We have a lot of good takeaways here. The next game is something we have control over."
Now sat second in Group G with three points, Switzerland take on Serbia in their final group game on Friday. Win that and they will progress to the knockouts.
