Portugal vs. Switzerland - Betting tips, predictions, and odds

Portugal and Switzerland will conclude Round 16 of the FIFA World Cup when they face at Lusail Iconic Stadium. Don’t forget to read the best Portugal vs. Switzerland betting tips and predictions. 

H2H, form, and stats

Portugal and Switzerland have a rich history of H2H duels. They have met 15 times, and the current record is W6, D4, L5 in Portugal’s favor. They never met at the World Cup but played twice this year in the UEFA Nations League. Portugal won 4-0 at home, while Switzerland got a 1-0 victory in Geneva.

Portugal lost the final game of the group stage as South Korea scored late to beat them 2-1. However, Os Navegadores still ended atop the group with six points after beating Ghana and Uruguay. Bruno Fernandes leads the team in goals and assists with two apiece, while Ricardo Horta, Joao Felix, Rafael Leao, and Cristiano Ronaldo also scored at this World Cup. Portugal won eight of its previous 12 matches (D1, L3). 

Switzerland almost finished the group stage in 1st place ahead of Brazil following a 3-2 victory over Serbia in Round 3. They needed just one more goal to leapfrog the Brazilians, but couldn't score it, so instead of facing South Korea in the Round of 16, Rossocrociati will have to play against Portugal. 

Murat Yakin’s side got to a lucky 1-0 victory over Cameroon before they deservedly lost 1-0 to Brazil. A win against Serbia was deserved and Switzerland will play in the knockout phase for the third consecutive time. They failed to advance to the quarter-finals since 1954 when the World Cup was played in Switzerland. This year wasn’t very successful for the Swiss; they lost six of 12 games played in 2022 (W5, D1).

Injuries and squad news

Portugal's head coach Fernando Santos cannot count on injured Nuno Mendes (thigh) and Danilo Pereira (broken rib), while Otavio is dealing with a muscle injury and is questionable to face Switzerland. Santos did rest some of his key players against South Korea, which is a big advantage as he will have fresh legs on Tuesday. 

Goalkeeper Yann Sommer didn't play against Serbia due to an illness and is unknown whether he’ll recover in time to play against Portugal. In his absence, Gregor Kobel was at the goal and allowed two from four shots on target against Serbia. Murat Yakin is likely not going to change his outfield starters as we expect to see the unchanged starting XI from the Serbia game. 

Betting predictions and odds

Portugal is a 1.90 favorite to beat Switzerland and progress to the quarter-finals. Switzerland has the ability to defeat favorites at big tournaments, so if you think the Nati can do it again, you can back them at 4.42, while a draw is 3.32. When it comes to goals, Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 2.23 and Under 2.5 goals at 1.65.

Our best tip for Portugal vs. Switzerland game

Portugal conceded four goals in the group stage and we’re not impressed with the way their defense is playing. Switzerland will focus on defending its goal and will try to hurt the favorites on the counter and from set pieces. Those opportunities will surely arrive and we’re backing the Swiss to score on Tuesday. 

Portugal’s attacking potential is sky high and they can easily outscore any opponent at this World Cup, so we have no doubt they will find the back of the net here. After all, Fernando Santos’ team managed to score in every game so far and has six goals in three matches here in Qatar. Only two teams (England and Spain) scored more goals than Portugal in the group stage.
