Brazil take on the visitors Switzerland in the round 2 match of group stage of FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Monday, November 28th at Stadium 974 (Doha).
Brazil got their nickname 2 decades ago. In 2002, in Japan and Korea, Ronaldo and company took the 5th title. But after that there were failures - otherwise it is impossible to consider stability in the form of departures in the quarterfinals. And 1-7 at home with Germany, albeit in the 1/2 finals, is not progress for sure, but rather the main humiliation of modern history. Yes, and in Russia 4 years ago, already under Titus, there was a defeat for Belgium, already traditionally in the quarterfinals. At the same time, the mentor remained, and must now justify this trust. His line-up is strong, and the Selesao started the tournament in Qatar with 2-0 grandmasters. But the Serbs fought for real, and in the literal sense, did not hesitate to be rude, especially in relation to Neymar. As a result, he, like Danilo, will miss not only the 2nd, but, most likely, the 3rd round. However, the “Souths” were beaten at the expense of Richarlison’s double, so we shouldn’t consider the absence of Neymar as some kind of tragedy.

Switzerland came to the first tournament under the current coach, Yakin. Murat had a difficult task: to keep the new wards at the level that they had reached under his predecessor, Petkovic. Vladimir was able to consolidate the results of his work last summer, when at the Euro with his wards he not only advanced to playoffs (for the umpteenth time in a row at the “big” tournaments), but also knocked out France itself, and then lost only on penalties to Spain. The new mentor was able to resist the temptation to change something - the Nati played in the same pragmatic style. But this brought victory over Italy in qualifying for the World Cup. Yes, in the League of Nations in the summer there were 3 defeats in a row, but even there the team was able to wake up and correct the situation, defeating the entire three rivals, led by Spain. It turned out to extend the series of victories in Qatar. It cannot be said that the Europeans were noticeably stronger than Cameroon. But still, Embolo converted one of his moments and Sommer kept a clean sheet.
The teams have played each other four times, and so far the results are equal. In friendly matches it turned out to exchange victories. But at the World Championships both times there were draws, including 1-1 in 2018. “Pentacampeons”, of course, is the undisputed favorite of this confrontation. But it will not be easy for him with well-organized and hardened “neutrals” in top fights. We recommend betting on the victory of Switzerland with a handicap of “+1.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win with +1.5 handicap.
