FIFA World Cup Serbia vs Switzerland match prediction
Due to the glaring contrast of styles, this match is quite challenging to determine the winner. Switzerland is going to clash with a highly physical, quick-moving, high-scoring Serbian team, while it itself is a very defensive team with only three shots on goal throughout the competition. The usual outcome is a low overall score with a favourable outcome for the attacking side. So, Serbia might turn out to be the biggest gainer in this match. ‘
Prediction: Serbia to register a 2-1 victory.
