The Swedes, playing in their first WC since 2006, are here after negotiating an extremely tough group. This is the fourth time in succession that a Swedish side has proceeded to the knockout stage, and they face a fancied Swiss side currently ranked sixth.
Sweden will need to emulate their matchday three performance (3-0 v Mexico) to give themselves a realistic chance of at least matching their third-place finish in 1994. Though ranked lower than Switzerland, Sweden have a slight upper hand in the H2H record (W5, D3, L4).
Switzerland are in their fourth consecutive WC, and are looking to progress beyond the Round-of-16 for the first time since 1954. Victory here would enable the Swiss to go within one game of reaching uncharted depths in a WC – the semi-final stage.
