fight fiercely
The round of 16 matchup pits Portugal against Switzerland.
Although Portugal suffered a defeat in their last match, a number of core players were able to rest, including several players who accumulated yellow cards. They are expected to return to the starting lineup and give it their all against Switzerland.
With center back Rubin Dyas returning to command the back line, and midfield pairing of Bono Fernandes and Bernardo Schwarz joining forces again, and with Zio Felix expected to make his debut up front, I'm confident that these four world-class players will help the team go far.
The Portuguese midfield was convincing, with Ruben Nieves playing well in defensive midfield, not only making good tackles, but also controlling the ball extremely well. He was always able to pass the ball to Bono Fernandes and Bernardo Schwarz with precision, creating a threat for the strikers.
However, Switzerland is not an easy team to play against, as Glesaga and Fiona are the center of the midfield and will need to keep the Portuguese attackers at bay in this match. As for the fast wingers such as Sutton Shakiri and Rubin Vargas, they will need to capitalize on the limited chances they have on goal, or send the ball to the feet of Billet Security Road. As simple as it may seem on paper, I expect the Portuguese defense to be on their toes, and while the game may be a slog, ultimately
advancement
The will be Portugal.
