Preview:
Portugal head into this after a 2-1 loss to South Korea in their final group H clash on Friday.
Horta gave Portugal the lead within minutes before Kim and Hwang’s strikes in either half ensured a first defeat of the campaign. However, Portugal had qualified for the Round of 16 prior to the match and the result didn’t matter much as they ended top of the group.
On the other hand, Switzerland beat Serbia 3-2 in their final group match on Saturday to seal a runners-up spot in Group G.
Shaqiri broke the deadlock for Switzerland before Mitrovic and Vlahovic turned the game around with a goal each in the 1st half. Embolo pulled one back to equalize by the end of the first half.
But Freuler’s efforts proved to be the winner as the Nottingham Forest lad’s second half effort ensured victory.
Both teams recently met in the UEFA Nations League in June where Switzerland won 1-0.

Team News
Otavio is a doubt for the Portuguese side while Pereira’s fitness remains a concern. Switzerland has no concerns as of this one and hope to see their fit squad give it a go.
Portugal possible 11:
Costa, Dalot, Pepe, Dias, Cancelo, Silva, Neves, Carvalho, Fernandes, Felix and Ronaldo
Switzerland possible 11:
Kobel, Rodriguez, Schar, Akanji, Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Vargas, Sow, Shaqiri and Embolo
Prediction: Portugal 2-1 Switzerland
Portugal know that they survived a poor performance vs South Korea as they had already qualified with a changed team.
The main players return to the 11 and hope to see them stretch their stay in Qatar.
It’s been a closely fought match between the two recently with several quality players on either side.
But given the magnitude, Portugal should win this one due to their better performers.
Players to watch out for: Silva, Ronaldo, Shaqiri and Xhaka.
