Serbia vs Switzerland World Cup Betting Predictions by Football Ground Guide

Switzerland ad Serbia meet again at the group stage in a World Cup clash.

The following are our best free Serbia vs Switzerland predictions:

Team to score prediction: BTTS

Our first prediction for Serbia vs Switzerland is for both teams to score as the duel is likely to be a fair one. The teams aren’t far off in global football rankings Serbia is 21^st while the Swiss are 15^th in FIFA rankings. The last duel had goals on both ends, a result to expect in this 2022 World Cup encounter. Switzerland has been unlucky with goals in the tournament, scoring just once in two games but given the significance of this clash, we expect them to score. On the other hand, Serbia has 3 goals from two games hence will be a high prospect in this clash. Serbia has the worst defensive record in the group after conceding 5 in two matches while Switzerland has leaked just a goal.

Total match goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Our second prediction for Serbia vs Switzerland is under 2.5 goals. We haven't seen many goals in the 2022 World Cup. A majority of the matches have ended with fewer than 3 goals.  It is one of the toughest clashes to be staged at Stadium 974 in this year’s world cup in Qatar. We expect only a few goals between two teams that have always played defensively. Switzerland has especially been very defensive in this group, leaking only one goal so far.

Correct score predictions: 1-1 Draw

Our last Serbia vs Switzerland is a 1-1 draw. We expect both teams to score but end up sharing the spoils in a tough duel with fewer than 3 goals. The swiss will rely on the strong defending hoping to go through to the round of 16. On the other hand, Serbia's lethal attacking front will be their strength in this game. We expect the teams to cancel out in a tightly contested duel.

Serbia vs Switzerland World Cup Fixture Preview

Serbia

Serbia hasn’t had much success in the World Cups despite being a regular presence in the tournament. They previously met the Swiss national team but lost 2-1 in the 2018 World Cup. They should have learned how to beat Switzerland by now. However, there is a new coach in charge, one different who the one who took them to the 2018 World Cup, so the Serbians should have a difficult time playing against a rejuvenated side Switzerland. We have seen glimpses of their performance in the 2o22 World Cup. Serbia has one of the best-attacking fronts in the tournament, so we cannot rule them out of winning this clash with Switzerland.

With Aleksandar Mitrovic who scored in the 3-3 draw against Cameroon, the Fulham striker is expected to yet again feature at the front for Serbia today when they clash with Switzerland in the last group-stage match.  Here is our predicted lineup for Serbia when they face Switzerland today 2nd December at 19:00 UK time.

• Vanja Milinkovic Savic, Nikola Milenkovic, Milos Veljkovic, Strahinja Pavlovic, Andrija Zivkovic, Nemanja Maksimovic, Sasa Lukic, Filip Kostic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Dusan Tadic.
• Serbia is expected to use the 3-4-2-1 formation against Switzerland which is the same setup that head coach Dragan Stojkovic deployed against Cameroon.

Switzerland

Switzerland has had some torrid moments in the 2022 competitions. They kicked off their 2022 assignments with a loss against England in a friendly and could win in five games. However, their recent resurgence with Granit Xhaka as the captain has been exceptional, winning all their last three games.  The Swiss are second in Group G with 3 points and hence stand a better chance than last-placed Serbia which has only a point from two games.

However, this could be another tricky fixture for Switzerland because Seria has shown glimpses of a team that can take all the points away from them. The fact that Serbia's forward three has been one of the most lethal in recent years is why Switzerland must prepare adequately for this clash.

Here is our predicted lineup for Switzerland when they face Serbia today evening at Stadium 974:

• Yann Sommer, Ricardo Rodriquez, Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji, Silvan Widmer, Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka, Ruben Vargas, Djibril Sow, Xhedam Shaquiri, Breel Embolo.
• We expect Switzerland to use a 4-2-3-1 setup in this clash with Serbia. It is the same formation they used against Brazil.
