Switzerland have been qualifiers at the FIFA World Cup on numerous occasions and they will hope for full success this time around. They will need to give their all and they know it.
The Red Crosses have had a mixed year in terms of results and will look to avoid slip-up in big games. Just before the World Cup they lost in a friendly against Ghana 0-2, a result they would like to forget.

The Indomitable Lions had not had that bad a year in terms of their football and they will look to follow the winning template. They last drew 1-1 against Panama just before the World Cup.
