FIFA World Cup 2022: Portugal Vs Switzerland Prediction, Head-To-Head, Live Stream Time, Date,…

The FIFA World Cup is the most prestigious event in international football (soccer), and takes place every four years. The 2022 edition will be held in Qatar, from November 21st to December 18th. It will be the first World Cup held in the Arab world, and the second in Asia (after Japan/Korea in 2002). While we don’t know which teams will be playing yet, we do know that Portugal and Switzerland have been drawn into the same group. So, let’s take a look at how these two teams match up!
FIFA World Cup 2022: Portugal Vs Switzerland Prediction
Who will win the opening game of the FIFA World Cup? Portugal or Switzerland?
In a rematch of their 2006 World Cup encounter, Portugal and Switzerland go head-to-head in the first game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Portuguese are slight favourites to win this one, but the Swiss will be no pushovers.
In their last meeting at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Portugal defeated Switzerland 2-0. It was a tight affair, with both sides having chances to score. The difference ultimately came down to two moments of magic from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a brace to give Portugal the victory.
Can Ronaldo replicate his 2006 heroics and lead Portugal to victory once again? Or will Switzerland finally get revenge for that loss and start their World Cup campaign with a win?
Portugal Vs Switzerland Prediction:
It is difficult to say who will come out on top in this one. Both teams are evenly matched and it could come down to which side takes their chances better on the day. However, we think that Portugal may just have enough quality to edge this one. Our prediction is a 2-1 victory for Portugal.
Head-To-Head
In the first round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Portugal will take on Switzerland at the Rostov Arena in Rostov-on-Don. This will be the second meeting between these two nations at a World Cup, with their first encounter coming back in 2006.
In the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Portugal and Switzerland were drawn into the same group along with Ivory Coast and Iran. In their first match against each other, Portugal came out on top with a 2-0 victory. They would go on to win their second match against Ivory Coast and finish atop their group.
In the Round of 16, Portugal faced off against England. The match went to extra time and was ultimately decided by a penalty shootout, which Portugal won 3-1. They would eventually lose in the semi-finals to France 1-0.
As for Switzerland, they also won their first match against South Korea but then lost their next two matches against France and Togo. As a result, they finished bottom of their group and were eliminated from the tournament.
This time around, both Portugal and Switzerland will be looking to make it out of their group and into the knockout stage of the tournament. With that being said, let’s take a look at how these two teams stack up against each other in this head-to-head matchup.
