Portugal vs Switzerland World Cup time, live stream, TV channel, lineups, odds for FIFA Qatar 2022 Round of 16

Portugal topped Group H en route to the Round of 16 and Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. have been paired against Switzerland in their first knockout test.

The Swiss produced an impressive 3-2 win over Serbia to secure their spot in the next phase in Qatar, as they finished runners-up behind Brazil in Group G.

Ronaldo won his first international title with Portugal at Euro 2016, but there is a growing sense at this being his final shot at a World Cup, as he turns 38 in 2023.

Switzerland have reached the Round of 16 for a third successive World Cup but they have not made it to the quarterfinals since hosting the tournament back in 1954.

PSG full-back Nuno Mendes looks set to miss the remainder of the World Cup through injury, with clubmate Danilo Pereira also likely sidelined.

Portugal vs Switzerland odds, best bets, predictions

Ronaldo’s push for a World Cup title is the key sub-plot heading into this game but Portugal’s stumble against South Korea  showed their weaknesses.

Switzerland have shown a solid ability to perform on the World Cup stage and this game could potentially be the chance for a real shock from Yakin’s charges.
