Why Bet Switzerland:
✅ Brazil are a weakened side after losing their star leader in Neymar to an ankle injury in the win over Serbia.
✅ Switzerland utilize a defense style that keeps them in matches against world powers. Murat Yakin’s tactics as manager guided them to wins over Portugal and Spain in the UEFA Nations League.
✅ Brazil styled and profiled to victory over Serbia but it didn’t come easy as they were held scoreless for an hour before Richarlison found the back of the net. That should encourage an even more organized Switzerland squad that they can do the same against a Neymar-less Brazil.

Brazil
Brazil enjoyed the start everyone expected from the tournament favorites in their 2-0 win over Serbia. Serbia did their best to defend for as long as possible but were no match for the Brazilians, who ended up winning the xG battle 2.3 to 0.2.
The question entering this match will be if Richarlison can repeat his masterful performance and lead the Brazil attack. Without the now missing Neymar, Brazil manager Tite needs the Tottenham forward to continue to cement his star in the making status with more scoring.
Richarlison led Brazil in goals from open play during CONEMBOL World Cup Qualifying with six. He is currently +550 to win the Golden Boot, which is a good value bet after his opening match brace and a likely increased role with Neymar injured for the near future.
Switzerland
Switzerland were their usual well organized selves in the 1-0 win over Cameroon, controlling the match defensively before pouncing on one of their few opportunities to get the required goal for the win.
Breel Embolo scored in the 48th minute to give Switzerland the three points in a match that showcased how hard it is to break down their defense. Now, they will have to repeat that defensive organization against a Brazil team that will challenge them in a way they haven’t been challenged before.
Switzerland’s deep laying 4-2-3-1 formation led by the Manuel Akanji and Nico Elvdi pairing at CB and defensive midfielder Granit Xhaka needs to play perfectly for 90 minutes if they want to get a point out of this match. Even then, they likely will need to find at least one goal through a set piece or a counter attack led by Embolo as it is almost a guarantee Brazil will find the back of the net at least once before full time.
