Group H Switzerland will battle against Portugal in their Round of 16 matchups. Portugal finished second in Group G. Unlike the winners of a few other categories, the World Cup 2022 champions of these two classes were expected. Portugal won Group H, and Brazil triumphed in Group G.
The Portuguese got off to a great start, winning 3-2 against Ghana and 2-0 against Uruguay. They were surprised by South Korea’s 2-1 victory. The Korean team gets eliminated from the competition after being thrashed 1-4 by Brazil.
Portuguese will now oversee the progress of Group H. Brazil defeated them despite getting the same points as Switzerland throughout the group round. It all depends on who wins a crucial quarterfinal position.
Portugal vs. Switzerland Preview
Switzerland Team Details
Although Portuguese is not the favorite to advance to the round of 16, Switzerland is aware that anything may happen this year. It doesn’t matter who is faster and more efficient because the FIFA world cup 2022 has produced many different outcomes, including the Portuguese dropping their most recent game 2-1 to S.korea.
Swiss has never won three straight games during a world cup. The Swiss have not made it past the quarterfinals since hosting the world cup in 1954.
Portugal Team Details
Due to Uruguay’s victory over Ghana in the previous match, Portugal advanced as the division’s top team despite suffering their first loss at Qatar 2022. For the first time since placing 4th in Germany in 2006, they want to go to the round of 16.
Because no player had ever scored in the knockout stage, Ronaldo & Messi equaled the record for the most championship goals until Dec 4. CR7 now have the chance to get past Messi as Portugal believes their star player can shine and score this time.

Portugal vs. Switzerland Head-to-Head
Twenty games have already been played between the Portuguese and the Swiss. Portugal and Swiss each won nine of those contests, with five of those contests ending in ties. Portugal also won 11 of those contests. In their lone prior meeting at a major competition, which took place at Euro 2008, Switzerland defeated Portugal 2-0.
Portugal vs. Switzerland Prediction
There will be, at most, one goal scored by CR7. Portuguese will advance to the quarterfinals with a 2-1 victory.
Best Players to Watch
So although Cristiano Ronaldo will be a vital player to watch, there are suspicions about his health and condition. For Brazil’s victory over Uruguay, Fernandes scored goals.
He will therefore play a crucial part as well. Breel Embolo has two goals in this campaign, and Xherdan Shaqiri is a vital player to monitor for the Swiss.
