The match for the Portugal national team against the Switzerland in the Round of 16 for 2022 World Cup, Tuesday, December 06, 2022, will be held at the Lusail Iconic Stadium (Lusail) Stadium. Despite being superior, Portugal still has to be vigilant because Switzerland performed very well in the three rounds of the group stage.
Portugal advanced to the round of 16 after winning Group H thanks to winning 2 wins and 1 defeat in the 2022 World Cup preliminary round. Portugal has managed to collect 6 points since the first 2 matches, and has already held a ticket to the semi-knockout round.
Although Portugal lost 2-1 to South Korea in the last round, this was entirely based on coach Fernando Santos’ main rotation of players as the team had actually qualified ahead of schedule.
During the group stage, team A Seleção had very good offensive ability, scoring 6 goals with an average of 2 goals per game. Bruno Fernandes is one of the best performing players. The Manchester United player has scored 2 goals, and assisted a team-mate to score, apart from Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo who have scored.
However, the performance of the defense line is less stable. Portugal have lost 4 goals in the group stage, and the average number of goals conceded is over 1 goal per game.
On the other hand, Switzerland came to the round of 16 after finishing runner-up in Group G. Collecting the same 6 points as Brazil, Switzerland won 2 wins and 1 defeat in the group stage which indicated that the overall performance was not bad.
The Rossocrociati have scored 4 goals in the group stages at an average of 1 goal per game, and have conceded three. The star player who will become Switzerland is Breel Embolo. AS Monaco players have scored 2 goals in three group games.
Switzerland will be a tough opponent for Portugal. Team captain Ronaldo, who always started in the previous 3 matches, appeared less than optimal, only scoring 1 goal via a penalty in the first round. Especially in the last meeting of the UEFA Nations League in June 2022, Portugal lost 1-0 to Switzerland in the fourth round.
