Portugal vs Switzerland World Cup 2022 – Match Preview

Portugal’s loss to South Korea in the third round of the World Championship spoiled the overall impression from the first two rounds, but it should be noted that it was a very mixed line-up lacking a couple of regular first-team players There is no longer any need to calculate.

Coach Santos will field the strongest team possible; Fernandes, Silva, Ronaldo, and Cancelo are the reason for this Portuguese team’s strength and offensive prowess.

Switzerland performed admirably against Serbia. We must not forget that this team trailed Italy in World Cup qualifiers. They defeated the aforementioned Serbia 3-2 in the final round of the group stage and Cameroon in the first round of this tournament. This team’s symbol is a strong team defense and a responsible midfield.

Here’s everything you need to know about an event that promises to be just as heated.

Portugal vs Switzerland Prediction

This is a meeting of two people who know each other well. Switzerland had only played six competitive matches prior to the World Cup in 2022, but they managed to face Portugal twice.

Portugal thrashed Die Nati 4-0 in a Nations League match in Lisbon before losing 1-0 to the same team minus Cristiano Ronaldo seven days later in Geneva.

If Portugal struggles to realize the full potential of their talented players, Switzerland is far greater than the sum of their parts.

“We don’t have Ronaldos and Messis in the team; we only function when we work together,” says Granit Xhaka, the team’s captain. “It’s very difficult to play against us.”

In what could be an attritional match, it could be close even if it goes to penalties because both nations have specialist goalkeepers in that area.

In theory, Portugal’s technical superiority should give them the advantage, but it could go either way.
