Portugal vs Switzerland, FIFA World Cup 2022: Dream11 Prediction, Possible Line-ups and Fantasy Tips

Bengaluru, December 5: Portugal will take on their continental rivals Switzerland in FIFA World Cup 2022 round of 16 match at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday, 6th December (7th December in India).

Both teams do not boast the best of times in the World Cup, and will be looking to banish those records when they meet for the 26th time. Portugal have qualified for the quarter-finals only once since 1966. Switzerland, meanwhile, last played in the quarter finals back in 1958.

Portugal made their way to the last 16 topping Group H but saw their momentum take a blip as they suffered a 2-1 loss against South Korea in their final group game.

Switzerland, on the other hand, finished second in Group G behind Brazil and needed a win against Serbia in the final game to secure their place in the round of 16.

Portugal do not possess the best record against Switzerland having won just nine of their 25 games against the European giants while losing 11. However, they will surely be the favourites at the Lusail Stadium against Murat Yakin's side.
