Group H winners Portugal face Switzerland on Tuesday evening in the World Cup’s final round of 16. Despite losing to South Korea in stoppage time, Fernando Santos steered Portugal out of the group stage for the fourth major tournament in a row. Murat Yakin is at his first World Cup betting odds competition as a manager. However, he oversaw Switzerland’s progress behind Brazil in Group G with a 3-2 victory over Serbia.
First goalkeeper Yann Sommer and centerback Nico Elvedi both missed Switzerland’s final group game against Serbia through illness. With four days to recover for the last 16, both are in with a chance of featuring.
Portugal wingback Nuno Mendes was ruled out of the World Cup after sustaining a thigh injury. While his club-mate Danilo Pereira damaged three ribs during a training session. Hence that leaves the converted centerback’s availability in doubt.
Otavio missed Portugal’s final two group games with muscular discomfort but is nearing a return.
Portugal has opened the scoring in eight of their last nine World Cup games. In comparison, Switzerland lost all four knockout games in the competition when they conceded first.
