Portugal and Switzerland will meet in the round of 16 on Tuesday in an attempt to advance to the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals. Portugal has only reached the World Cup quarterfinals once since 1966. In their final three games, they won two and lost one to finish as Group H’s leader.
On Tuesday, the team of Fernando Santos, whose dynamic attackers scored six goals in the group stage, will once more have to deliver. In their final group stage match, South Korea defeated Portugal 2-1. However, Santos rested some of their starters prior to their final group stage game because they had already qualified for the knockout stages.
The way Cristiano Ronaldo performs in front of the goal will cause Portugal concern. Despite this, Portugal has enough firepower to defeat their rivals in the round of 16 matchups. Switzerland qualified for the knockout stages thanks to their stunning 3-2 victory over Serbia in their final group-stage match. The Swiss scored goals from Xherdan Shaqiri, Breel Embolo, and Remo Freuler to finish second in Group G, behind Brazil.
