Brazil and Switzerland are sitting pretty at the top of Group G after opening wins but the Selecao impressed more in those matches.
The outright favourites have now secured eight straight victories and kept clean sheets in six of those games, with just two goals conceded.
Another win to nil here can be backed at 5/4 and that is our first Brazil vs Switzerland prediction.
Brazil Odds
Brazil took a while to get on top of Serbia but eventually secured a convincing 2-0 victory, which gave us a 6/1 correct score pay-out.
Richarlison scored both goals, the second a sublime leaping volley, while Casemiro was unlucky to see his fine strike hit the bar before Vanja Milinkovic-Savic denied substitute Fred.
Head coach Tite said: “I think this was an important victory, with many wins in the same game.
“The first half wasn’t our normal standard, but in the second half, we repositioned people and we improved our technique.”
That triumph was marred by an injury scare for Neymar, who limped off late on.
Defender Danilo also picked up an ankle problem, hobbling through the final minutes.
However, Brazil have great strength in depth, with Manchester United winger Antony, Arsenal pair Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli and Rodrygo of Real Madrid all making an impact off the bench.
Vinicius Junior’s pace down the left was the Selecao’s biggest early threat and 11/2 for him to break the deadlock here appeals from the Brazil vs Switzerland odds.
Switzerland Odds
Switzerland also did us a favour on Thursday, as 9/2 for them to beat Cameroon 1-0 was one of three successful selections in our match preview.
Cameroon-born forward Breel Embolo made no mistake with a close-range finish just after half-time and the Indomitable Lions rarely threatened to equalise.
Head coach Murat Yakin hailed his team’s disciplined display, stating: “You need patience and it was a mature performance.
“Of course, there is some uncertainty in a World Cup, not everything can go well from the start, but I’m happy with the possession, with how we got it converted.
“Maybe 1-0 or 2-0 is not sufficient for my taste, maybe we could have scored more goals, but all in all we had a mature performance by our team.”
It has to be said that was a largely uninspiring contest, but the Rossocrociati are clearly no mugs.
They finished above Italy in their qualifying pool, drawing twice with the Azzurri during an eight-match unbeaten campaign which featured five wins.
Finishing off this summer’s Nations League group with victories over Portugal, Spain and Czech Republic will have further boosted morale.
Switzerland will now bid to reach the last 16 of the World Cup for the fourth time in five renewals, but Brazil are still backed to expose their limitations.
Let’s stick with the 2-0 Selecao scoreline again at 6/1 to complete our Brazil vs Switzerland betting tips.
