Serbia had a tough start of group G having to play vs Brazil in the opener. That didn’t go well since they lost 2-0, and they weren’t able to leave Cameroon behind in their following game. Those results have the Serbians in the last place with just one point. The 3-3 tie with the Cameroonians was particularly costly because they were 3-1 up. Although a win here could qualify them.

Switzerland began correctly getting a 1-0 over Cameroon to start their journey in Qatar the right way. In their next appearance they presented a very close battle to Brazil, though the favorites barely rescued a victory by a 1-0 score. The advantage for the Swiss is that a draw should send them to the round of 16, unless there is a defeat from the Brazilians.
