With Brazil almost qualified for the knockouts for the ongoing FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, the match between Serbia vs Switzerland will decide which team will join the remaining 15 in the top 16.
Switzerland will face Serbia on December 2 (3 December, 12:30 am IST) at Stadium 974 for their final Group G match.
Overview:
Serbia, who still have a fighting chance of progressing to the knockouts, while Switzerland are in a very good position to progress to the knockout stages. However, not everything depends on what the outcome of this match will be. A simultaneous match between Brazil and Cameroon could also make a difference.
Head to head:
The Eagles (Serbia) got an unexpected loss against Brazil in their opener, and can manage to draw against Cameroon. Do apart from winning the match against Switzerland they have no other option, if they want to qualify for the knockouts.
Conversely, even though Switzerland is in a better position than Serbia, they also need to register a win to confirm their seat in the knockouts. They won against Cameroon in their first Group G game, but lost the second to Brazil.
So it was a close match.
