Brazil vs Switzerland | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Brazil get their 2018 World Cup campaign underway with an encounter against Switzerland in Rostov, with the South American giants looking to earn all three points against Vladimir Petković’s side. However, with the Swiss having dropped just three points during their respective qualifying campaign, Brazil may well not have things all their own way.
Match Preview
Brazil and Switzerland go head-to-head in the second encounter from Group E at this summer’s World Cup, with the South American giants having waited four years to make up for their heavy defeat to Germany in the semi-finals last time around. This is just one of the reasons as to why Brazil are the firm favourites for victory ahead of kick-off, however there are still plenty of attractive markets worth checking out before the match. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with Brazil.
Brazil Form
Brazil finished top of the CONMEBOL standings in order to qualify with ease for the Finals in Russia, with Tite’s men having lost just one of their 18 matches on the way. The South American’s will come into the tournament full of confidence, with Brazil having defeated rivals Germany in a friendly in Berlin just a matter of months ago, with Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus scoring the only goal of the game. As usual, Brazil have a whole host of talent to select from, with the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Willian all vying for a starting attacking role. Elsewhere, the likes of Dani Alves and Thiago Silva were all part of the squad four years ago.
Switzerland Form
Switzerland needed to defeat Northern Ireland in a two-legged playoff in order to qualify, despite having dropped just three points from their 10 qualifying matches, in a group that contained Euro 2016 winners Portugal. Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka and Stoke City’s Xherdan Shaqiri are certain starters for the underdogs against Brazil.
Head to Head
Perhaps surprisingly, there is little to choose between the two teams when it comes to their head-to-head record. Brazil have three wins to their name from their eight previous encounters, as well as registering the same number of draws in the process. However, it was Switzerland who came out on top the last time they met, running out narrow 1-0 winners in a friendly match back in 2013, with Dani Alves scoring an own-goal that day.
Brazil vs Switzerland Prediction
Their status as one of the world’s leading football nations and the quality within their squad means that it comes as little surprise that Brazil are the favourites for victory with many of the major bookmakers. The South American giants are available to back for victory at best odds of 1/3 with bookmaker Ladbrokes, while a victory for Switzerland is priced at an attractive 8/1 on the same platform. Elsewhere, a draw between the duo is available at odds of 4/1 with Paddy Power.
Brazil vs Switzerland Betting Tip: Brazil to keep a clean sheet
However, our top betting tip for the match is to bet on Brazil to keep a clean sheet during the 90 minutes in Rostov, a market which is available at a best price of 4/5 with William Hill.
