Second game for two teams with three points.Brazil and Switzerland will fight full victories at the start of this World Cup, after a promising start, and practically gotten their presence in the round of 16, depending on the result of Serbia-Cameroun game. The game will be played this Monday, November 28 at Stadium 974 in Doha.
How Brazil arrives: The big victory in the Brazilian premiere has increased the illusion of a team that is known to be the main favourite to stamp the sixth star on its shirt. Neymar’s absence by injury, a priori, until the arrival of the qualifiers is not any problem, becouse the team showed tremendous offensive power against Serbia, with Vinicius, Raphinha, Richarlison and company. The striker certified Tite’s confidence with two goals. Another European team on the track of the Brazilian whirlwind.
How Switzerland arrives: The change in the bench has not caused that the coldest team of the World Cup to lose its essence. Switzerland is not afraid of anything or anyone. It plays without pressure of the top national teams, but competes at the same level. If on the way to Qatar it left eliminated to Italy – European champion – It did the same with the world champion in the European tournament. It’s victory for the minimum against Cameroun, with its usual game style, an uncomfortable and stronger football against.
The duel of the match: Richarlison and Embolo celebrated their first goals in a World Cup in a different way. The Brazilian, with 2 goals, could hardly believe it. The Switzerland striker, with Cameroun roots, did not want to celebrate it by respect. Both are the finalisers of their respective teams. The Brazilian plays few balls (there is no one for everyone) and they must always end up in a goal. Embolo appears more, but with the goal very far away.
