1/8 final – Sweden vs. Switzerland

16:24, 03.07.2018

The 1/8 final of World Cup 2018 – Sweden vs. Switzerland will be held today. The match will begin at 18:00 Tbilisi Time. Venue — Saint Petersburg Stadium, Referee — Damir Skomina from Slovenia.

Prediction: Sweden landed their spot in the last-16 courtesy of a 3-0 win over Mexico, which saw them progress as group winners. Few gave them a chance of making it out of the group, let alone topping Group F, and they’ll be confident of landing a quarter-final berth at Switzerland’s expense.

Switzerland were held to a late 2-2 draw with Costa Rica on Wednesday night. However, the absence of key defenders Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schar, who both received their second bookings of the tournament in the stalemate, will hinder their chances of overcoming Sweden on Tuesday afternoon.

According to www.whoscored.com, this unlikely to be the glamour tie of the last-16, but it’s one that Sweden should edge.
