We have some Serbia vs Switzerland bet builder tips for you ahead of this make-or-break World Cup match. We’ve analysed some of the props angles for what promises to be a competitive fixture.
Serbia are still on the hunt for their first win heading into the final group game but qualification remains in their hands. Switzerland know that a draw is likely to be enough for them. It’ll be interesting to see if this impacts their approach.

World Cup Group G, Friday, December 2nd, 19:00 (UK)
It’s crunch time in group G with both of these teams vying for a place in the knockout stages. They both would have expected to be in this situation after being drawn with Brazil. Switzerland have a two-point lead over Serbia and a draw is likely to be enough for them to go through with Cameroon taking on the tournament favourites.
Serbia looked to be heading toward a comfortable victory over Cameroon before the introduction of Vincent Aboubakar. The striker scored an incredible chip and assisted Choup-Moting for the equaliser. Serbia were left to rue their squandered opportunities and are now at a disadvantage heading into the final group match.
Switzerland won their opening game against Cameroon 1-0. It was a tightly-contested affair but now it is the difference heading into this round of fixtures. The Swiss also remained resolute against Brazil. They were eventually beaten by a late goal from Casemiro.
Serbia would have been expecting to reach the last 16 of this tournament and should come out of the blocks quickly. Switzerland have gained a reputation for being a defensive side in recent tournaments and could look to stifle the Serbs before attacking themselves. Switzerland won 2-1 when these sides met at the last World Cup.
Serbia are averaging 11.88 shots per game in 2022. However, they have had 13 shots or more in six of the eight competitive matches they have played. Serbia had 13 shots in their last match against Cameroon. They also had 13 shots against Switzerland at Russia 2018.
Switzerland’s opponents are also averaging 11.88 shots per game in 2022. The Swiss are adept at limiting the number of clear opportunities their opponents have. Barring an early goal, Serbia will commit bodies forward and should get a good number of shots away. Only a win will do for Stojkovic’s side so expect them to be all guns blazing at some stage.
Switzerland will be forced to make several tackles as they withstand the pressure piled on by Serbia. They are averaging 14 tackles per game in 2022. Yakin’s side have 18 tackles against Brazil and 15 tackles against Cameroon in this tournament so far.
Serbia’s opponents in 2022 are averaging 13.5 tackles per game but Switzerland should make a few more on Friday. The importance of the fixture will not be lost on the players and they will be keen to get stuck in from the first minute.
Finally, we are going to back Serbia corners. Switzerland’s opponents in 2022 are averaging 5.75 corners per game. While Serbia themselves are averaging 4.5 corners per game. Switzerland’s opponents so far this tournament have had 8 and 5 corners.
