Bengaluru, December 1: Serbia and Switzerland lock horns in their final game of Group G with both sides vying for a berth in the round of sixteen of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Serbia are yet to win a game but are optimistic because of last week's 3-3 tie with Cameroon. A win against Switzerland could hand a place into the next round.
The Swiss team, on the other hand, already has a leg in the next round after defeating Cameroon on the first day and earning three points in the process. However, if they lose against Serbia, everything could be finalized because Brazil are widely expected to defeat Cameroon.

Serbia vs Switzerland Key Players to Watch:
Serbia: Mitrovic was on the scoresheet in the last game and has looked like the main attacker on the side. Manager Stojkovic will hope that he continues his impressive display and help the side beat the Swiss.
Switzerland: A draw or cleansheet would likely guarantee Switzerland's progression into the next round and the display of the center-backs will be crucial in this tie. Manuel Akanji and Nico Elvedi will be key.
Serbia vs Switzerland Dream11 Prediction:
Both teams have shown similar form in the competition so far and this game could go well down the wire with a lot of intensive attacking. But considering the experience and squad strength on paper, Switzerland could be a bit ahead in the tie, however, this does not make them an absolute favorite.
