Brazil vs Switzerland prediction: How will World Cup 2022 fixture play out today?

Brazil take on Switzerland in Group F of the World Cup in a meeting of two teams who kicked off the tournament with opening wins.

Brazil underlined their tournament credentials as Richarlison starred in their 2-0 win over Serbia, with the Tottenham forward scoring a brilliant overhead kick.

Switzerland will be underdogs against the Selecao but can approach the match without needing to win following their opening victory against Cameroon.

Depending on results elsewhere, with Serbia taking on Cameroon earlier in the day in Group F, a win for either Brazil or Switzerland would book their place in the last 16.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What TV channel is it on and how can I watch it online?
