Brazil will hope to continue the excellent start they made in the FIFA World Cup 2022 when they take on Switzerland. The South American nation will be the overwhelming favourites in the Monday night contest and it is easy to understand why. The Brazilians were in scintillating form prior to the World Cup and carried that momentum into their opener against Serbia, thanks to a Richarlison double. The final scoreline might only reflect as a 2-0 success for Brazil but in all honesty, the score could have been a lot worse for the Europeans had Tite’s side been more clinical in front of the goal.Â

They now have an opportunity to make it two wins from two and seal their passage into the knockout round if the other result in Group G also goes their way. The Brazilians are unbeaten since losing their 2021 Copa America final. In fact, they have now won their last eight matches in all competitions. However, if any team can stop Brazil from scoring, it is Serbia. Known for their defensive resilience, Switzerland produced a professional performance to edge out Cameroon 1-0 in their opener. They also ended their Nations League campaign on a positive note, winning their last three games in League A Group 2. It includes victories over Spain and Portugal.

Most of the talk in the build-up to this game was about the injury Neymar suffered. The Paris Saint-Germain forward will reportedly miss the rest of their group stage. However, Brazil have sufficient quality in their ranks to cope with that loss. Full-back Danilo will also be absent for the group phase with an injury. It will be interesting to see if Dani Alves will now play on the right or will Eder Militao be used there. Meanwhile, Switzerland do not have any fresh injury concerns, hence they could name a strong starting lineup.
Brazil possible line-up: Alisson, Alves, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Alex Sandro, Casemiro, Paqueta, Raphinha, Jesus, Vinicius Junior, Richarlison
Switzerland possible line-up: Sommer, Widmer, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez, Xhaka, Freuler, Sow, Shaqiri, Vargas, Embolo
