Well-known journalist Roberto Morales told what he expects from one of the final matches of the 1/8 finals of the 2022 World Cup, in which Portugal and Switzerland will play today.
Roberto Morales“One of the two European couples in the 1/8 finals and, without a doubt, an extremely interesting couple. It has an obvious favorite, however, oddly enough, the vast majority of experts assess the favoritism of Ronaldo and the company rather modestly, that is, Switzerland is a powerful underdog.
Portugal advanced to the playoffs from first place. She scored six points. The team was ahead of South Korea, Uruguay and Ghana. The path to 1/8 for this team was not easy. The potential of Portugal, especially attacking, is very high. At the same time, the wards of Fernando Santos traditionally do not play solidly, but achieve results.
Switzerland finished second in the group with six points in three games. It should be noted that the Brazilian national team, which placed in first place, had the same number, but the Pentacampeons finished the group stage with the best goal difference. Switzerland's achievement should be highly appreciated, because it was ahead of such strong teams as Cameroon and Serbia.
And some interesting statistics. The history of the confrontation between these rivals has 25 matches, in which the Portuguese team won nine times, and the Swiss team won 11 games,” said Morales.
