Portugal face Switzerland in the Round of 16 with both teams looking to progress to the Quarter-Finals. Portugal topped Group H while Switzerland came second to Brazil in Group G. Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing in his last World Cup and will want to go as far as possible in that. Bruno Fernandes scored twice against Uruguay as well as getting two assists against Ghana. He was rested against South Korea and should come back in to the Portugal side. Switzerland's manager Murat Yakin has kept a similar XI for the three group games with little rotation, and a win against Portugal will take them into the quarter finals for the first time since 1954, where they hosted the World Cup. They went out in the Round of 16 in both Russia 2018 and Brazil 2014, but did reach the quarter finals in EURO 2020, after dramatically knocking out France. They will hope for a similar story at this tournament. 2:1
Nuno Mendes is still out after picking up a thigh injury against Uruguay. Otavio is still recovering from a muscle injury, so he is a doubt here. Danilo Pereira is still expected to miss out after sustaining a rib injury in a training session. Renato Steffen missed the first game owing to upper body muscle tension, so remains a doubt for this game.
