An unbelievable qualifying campaign that saw Serbia finish top of their group (above Portugal), dropping only 4 points in 8 games, has almost given their fans false hope after a disappointing two group stage games that has seen them bottom with only one point to their name.A somewhat expected 2-0 defeat to Brazil was followed by a thrilling 3-3 draw to Cameroon which left Serbia fans with a bitter taste after seeing their side come back from a goal down and lead the game 3-1 until the 63rd minute. In what looks to have effectively cost them their place in the knockouts. Before the World Cup Serbia were on a 6-game unbeaten run, showing what this talented side are capable of.It’s been a rather lack lustre tournament for Switzerland too, having been involved in two 1-0 games during their group stage games. An opening win against Cameroon followed by defeat at the hands of Brazil.Switzerland are certainly an ageing side, that failed to test the Brazil goalkeeper in their 1-0 loss, last time out. They’ll certainly have to be a lot more creative against Serbia if they wish to get a positive a result. The motivation for the Swiss is that they know it’s in their hands so knowing a win will secure their place in the last 16 should be more than enough for them to go out and do the business.Serbia’s inability to keep out the opposition has been their downfall as their attack has scored in 7 of their last 8.It’s Switzerland’s to lose but I can certainly see both sides scoring in this one.Score Prediction: 1-2Bet Prediction: Both Teams to Score
