On the other hand, the Swiss national team comes in second place in the Group G standings table, with 3 points as well, and with only a goal difference from leaders Brazil, after winning 3 points at the expense of Cameroon, scoring a single goal and keeping its net free of defeats.
The Swiss national team achieved a difficult victory over Cameroon, with a clean goal, in the match that brought them together at Al Janoub Stadium, in the first round of Group G of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Today’s confrontation is the third between Brazil and Switzerland in the World Cup, as the two teams met face to face twice in the previous World Cup.
