Match #7 - Sweden vs Switzerland
The 2nd all-European clash sees Group G winners, Sweden take on Group F runners-up Switzerland. Sweden won their final group game 3-0 to ensure qualification and thanks to their superior goal difference beat Mexico to the top spot. Switzerland finished 2nd in the group thanks to their crucial win over Serbia. Based on the form, Sweden looks the better team but both teams are evenly matched on paper and hence expect yet another close contest.
Trending
Andreas Granqvist, the Swedish CB is their top scorer with 2 goals - both coming from the penalty spot. 3 of the 5 goals they have scored has been scored by defenders while one was scored by striker Tvominen against Germany and the other was an own goal. It certainly indicates their strikers have to step up. Switzerland's star man Shaqiri scored the crucial winner against Serbia late in the game which propelled them to the round of 16. Xhaka scored an equally impressive equaliser in that game while Dzemaili and Embolo impressed against Costa Rica.
Prediction - Sweden 1-1 Switzerland. Sweden to win on penalties.
