Brazil – Switzerland Prediction & Picks (17.06.2018)

Brazil and Switzerland meet, in a match for this phase of the World Cup (Group Stage). There is no recent record of direct confrontations between these two teams, who have not played any matches in the last 3 years. The last time they met was on 08-14-2013, in a match that ended with the final score: Switzerland (1-0) Brazil.

Brazil:

The team had direct access to this group stage, so they will play their first match in this edition of the competition. The team comes to this match after a victory with Austria by (0-3). In the last 10 matches played for all competitions, Brazil won 7 and tied 3. The defense has been strong and has suffered goals in 2 of the last 10 matches, and their attack has scored regularly, since they scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games.

The Brazilian national team is the only team that participated in all the editions of the World Cup and has already won the World title five times, the most recent of which was won in 2002. After a bad start in the phase of Qualifying, the Brazilian team, with coach Tite, did not lose any of the last twelve games he played in the competition and ended up staying in first place. In the last six friendly matches that the team played, in five Brazil did not suffer any goal and in four scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this premiere match of the Brazilian national team in the Russian World Cup, the Tite team will not suffer goals once again and will win the victory, either for the minimum advantage or for more comfortable numbers, so it will depend on the inspiration of Neymar and company.

Switzerland:

The team will make its debut in this edition of the competition, as it did not have to play any of the qualifiers prior to this group stage. The team comes to this match after a victory with Japan by (2-0). In the last 10 matches played for all competitions, the Switzerland won 7, drew 2 and lost 1. The defense has been strong and only suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their attack has scored regularly, as they scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Switzerland is a country that does not have much tradition in world football. He never won any trophy in his history and his best campaign was a spot in the Olympic Games in Paris, in the distant year of 1924. The Swiss team is well known for having a strong defensive sector, but now it will have a difficult debut in this 2018 World Cup, as it will play against the powerful national team of Brazil, the team that won the most world titles, so it will be a very difficult game. Although Switzerland has a good defensive sector, has many difficulties in the offensive sector, so it will have a great disadvantage with respect to Brazil, which has a good defensive sector and a very strong attack.
