Bodog<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThe eighth and final Round-of-16 fixture sees 2016 European Champions Portugal take on Switzerland at Lusail Iconic Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Portugal\u2019s confidence was rocked last time out, as they lost to South Korea, despite taking an early lead. Sure, they had already got the job done in terms of qualification, and boss Fernando Santos did make changes, but there were plenty of regulars still on the field, so the fact that they came unstuck doesn\u2019t bode too well, especially given how hard this Switzerland team can be to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was never going to be easy for the Swizz being thrown into a group with pre-tournament favourites Brazil, while both Serbia and Cameroon proved to be challenging. However, as they\u2019ve done on a regular basis over the last few years, the Swiss fought hard and got the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a whole lot of experience in this Swiss team, and it\u2019s a team that, for the most part, has been together for several years. We saw against Brazil, who could only make the breakthrough in the 83rd minute, that the Swiss can make life very difficult for even the best in the business, while against Serbia, who really went after the game, they showed that they can go toe-to-toe and that they have the quality to hurt teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all honesty, this is another game where the outsiders in the betting have a real chance of upsetting the odds. Portugal has lots of quality, but so do the Swiss, who, based on their efforts so far, probably don\u2019t deserve to be as big as 4.50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Swiss team has plenty of big-game experience, and they really do know how to get a result, as Portugal found out back in June when they lost by a goal to nil in the Nations League<\/a>. Murat Yakin\u2019s men also beat Spain in that competition, so we shouldn’t be surprised if they make life really tough for the Portuguese, who need to recover after a poor result against the South Koreans.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBetting Tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Score Prediction Portugal 0-1 Switzerland<\/p>\n\n\n\n
