Portugal and Switzerland will lock horns in the round of 16 on Tuesday in a bid to book a spot in the quarter-finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Portugal will come into this game following an embarrassing loss to South Korea in the last match of their group stage games. Their performances in their most recent games has been fairly inconsistent and that will be a cause for worry going into this game. In their last 5 games, Portugal has suffered 2 losses. In the World cup this year, they have only kept a clean sheet once, and that suggests that they have some defensive problems that could be exploited by the swiss side.

Switzerland on the other hand will come into this game following an impressive win over Serbia with a spectacular 3-2 display. They have definitely shown that they have the ability to cause problems for their opponents with the talents in their ranks and that will be telling in this game. At the back, Switzerland have been very rigid, as they have only conceded 3 goals so far in the World Cup. What an impressive record. This defensive resilience might prove to be the difference between these two sides in this game.

Looking at records have shown that Switzerland have the upperhand in this fixture. The last time these two sides met ended in favour of the swiss as they crushed portugal in the UEFA Nations League. Switzerland will be hoping for a repeat of that result as they head into this game. Portugal on the other hand might still be in shock over their last defeat. They have only made it to the quarter-finals of a World Cup once since 1966 and it is not looking good for them at the moment. We are backing Switzerland here to do enough to avoid a defeat in this game by either securing a victory or earning themselves a hard fought draw.

葡萄牙和瑞士将在周二的16强比赛中争夺2022年世界杯1 / 4决赛席位。

葡萄牙队在小组赛的最后一场比赛中尴尬地输给了韩国队，他们将参加这场比赛。他们在最近几场比赛中的表现相当不稳定，这将成为这场比赛令人担忧的原因。在过去的5场比赛中，葡萄牙队输了2场。在今年的世界杯上，他们只保持了一次零封，这表明他们在防守上存在一些问题，可以被瑞士队利用。

另一方面，瑞士队在以3比2的精彩表现击败塞尔维亚后，将进入这场比赛。他们已经证明了他们有能力用他们的天赋给对手制造麻烦，这将在这场比赛中得到证明。在后防线上，瑞士队非常死板，他们在世界杯上到目前为止只丢了3球。多么令人印象深刻的记录。这种防守的韧性可能会在这场比赛中被证明是双方的区别。

从记录来看，瑞士队在这场比赛中占了上风。上一次这两支球队相遇，瑞士人在欧足联国家联赛中大胜葡萄牙。瑞士队希望在这场比赛中再次取得同样的成绩。另一方面，葡萄牙可能还在为上次的失败感到震惊。自1966年以来，他们只闯入过一次世界杯1 / 4决赛，目前看来情况并不乐观。我们支持瑞士队在这场比赛中尽力避免失败，要么确保胜利，要么为自己赢得一场艰难的平局。
