Serbia vs. Switzerland Prediction

• Where: Stadium 974, Doha, Qatar
• When: Friday, December 2, 10 pm local time

Four years ago, a controversial officiating of Felix Brych eventually marked the game between these two sides and Switzerland’s win over Serbia. It would later turn out to be a decisive moment in this group, with the Swiss advancing to the Round of 16 and Serbia going home. FIFA broke its own rule by putting a referee from a neighboring country to officiate in that event, giving plenty of material for all sorts of conspiracy theories. So you need to understand that this game isn’t just an ordinary battle for the knockout stage, it is much more than that.

Serbia vs. Switzerland Preview

Serbia

An unexplainable drop in concentration resulted in the Serbs losing two points against Cameroon and only getting away with a draw from that event, 3-3. Both offsides were pretty close, and we need to say that the Eagles didn’t have too much luck in those situations.

This team has had many problems with injuries in the recent two games, but according to head coach Stojkovic, all players are ready for Friday’s clash. The only enigma is whether Serbia starts with two strikers, Mitrovic and Vlahovic, or only Mitrovic. 

This team plays open and efficient football, with lots of chances and goals. Serbia’s problems include the unstable defensive midfielders, who often expose the defense.

Switzerland

The Swiss team has one win and one loss in Qatar, but they haven’t shown anything worth mentioning here. Even that win over Cameroon came with a massive dose of luck because Indomitable Lions outplayed the rivals in almost every aspect of play. Still, they couldn’t use any of several excellent scoring chances.

On the other side, Switzerland used Cameroon’s recklessness at the start of the second half, scoring and, after that, packing its own midfield and defending until the end. 

This team is very experienced, with players who have been together for a long time, but we can see that they are worn off a little bit and lack speed in certain positions.

Serbia vs. Switzerland Prediction

Goals are expected here because Serbia needs a win, and they will come out firing on all cylinders. We often see them both score and allow goals, and even though the Swiss attack didn’t show anything special in Qatar, we are going with both teams netting.
