Brazil put in arguably their best performance of the tournament with a 2-0 win over Serbia, just showing why they are favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. however, it will be all right for the Selecao when they face Group G leaders Switzerland in their next game.
The ankle injury that Neymar picked up against Serbia is so serious that it could rule him out of the entire group stage and it remains to be seen what Brazil’s attack will be without him. We’re already missing one starter (Danilo), and the flu could do more damage.
At the same time, Switzerland is an established team with consistent performances in every match. They were far from world champions with a 1-0 win over Cameroon, but the Swiss were successful and got the job done.
They have presented problems for Brazil in the past, including a 1-1 draw in the 2018 World Cup group stage that saw several players suspended on Monday. Brazil’s all-time record against Switzerland is 3W-2L-4D.
After a 3-3 draw between Serbia and Cameroon, the winner of Brazil and Switzerland qualified for the round of 16.

1 hour 30 minutes from start time: Both previous meetings between Brazil and Switzerland in the FIFA World Cup final ended in draws (2-2 in 1950, 1-1 in 2018).
Only Portugal and Hungary can match that unbeaten record among the five-time champions.
2 hours from start: Inside Brazil’s dressing room. Who will you be rooting for in their quest for a second straight success at this show?
2 hours 30 minutes from the start: Those goals against Serbia took Richarlison’s tally to nine in his last seven appearances in all competitions for Brazil.
Since making his debut for the national team in September 2018, the Tottenham player has scored more goals for Brazil than any other player (19).
3 hours from start: Switzerland released this video message to remind their opponents that they are unlikely to be spies.
It was the first time since 1978 that Brazil were unbeaten in the opening game of the 2018 series, drawing 1-1.
3 hours 30 minutes from the start: Want to win? Breel Embolo has scored in three of his last four games for Switzerland, scoring big goals in each game – including against Cameroon.
4 hours from start: Since his first World Cup in 2014, Neymar has been fouled 53 times in the competition – at least 11 more than any other player. No wonder he was injured.
4:30 p.m. Kick-off: We’ll see Brazil play Xherdan Shaqiri of Switzerland, and the danger he presents will force left-back Alex Sandro to play more defensively and not attack Brazil’s left side. Their attack down the right with Eder Militao playing at right back should also go down because of his defense first orientation.
50% – Xherdan Shaqiri has been directly involved in half of Switzerland’s 24 goals in his last four matches at major tournaments (EUROS + World Cup), scoring eight goals and assisting four more. Key. #SUICMR #FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/ZmD5rb8KaW

4 hours 45 minutes from the start: Swiss manager Murat Yakin was asked about Brazil’s two absences and reminded everyone that Brazil has so many world-class players that they could field three teams. (You need 33 players on the roster instead of 26 if you have three teams, but you get the idea.)
“Great players to form three teams!” 😎

5 hours from start: Another reason Dani Alves wants regular centre-back Eder Militao to fill in at right-back for the injured Danilo? A long ball into the box that Switzerland wants delivered by Xherdan Shaqiri’s amazing left foot.
Former Brazil international Filipe Luis explains how many goals Switzerland have scored in recent years which headlined the long article about Shaqiri’s goals. Dani Alves will have trouble defending in space. Watch Filipe Luis explain it here (in Portuguese, the picture is clear):
