Top Three Free Predictions and Betting Tips for Serbia vs Switzerland
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Over 3.5 Yellow Cards – 1.38
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Serbia Under 5.5 Corners – 1.40
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: 1st Half Draw – 2.05
Over 3.5 Yellow Cards
The last time Serbia and Switzerland met was in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and there were five yellow cards shown. Serbia’s two of their last four games produced four bookings. With the importance of the game, we predict to see at least four yellow cards in this game.
Serbia Under 5.5 Corners
In their previous two World Cup games in Qatar 2022, Serbia were awarded 3.5 corners per game. A look at their previous five competitive games in the World Cup and the UEFA Nations League indicates Serbia winning an average of three corners per game.
1st Half Draw
Serbia’s one of two games and Switzerland’s both games in Qatar saw the first half end in a draw. Considering this will be a crucial match for both teams in search of qualification, we predict a very tactical game that will result in a stalemate at the end of the first half.
Preliminary Review Match Prediction and Review for Serbia vs Switzerland
Serbia
Serbia could be in second place at the end of round two instead they find themselves in the fourth position of group G. The Eagles were leading Cameroon by 3-1 in the second half but had to settle for a draw after conceding twice in three minutes.
With that Serbia have one point after two rounds and need to beat Switzerland and hope that Brazil beats Cameroon as well to qualify. The Eagles have a lot of talent in their team who play for the top European teams. Coach Stojkovic will hope his team can maintain its scoring form but a lot of work needs to be done in defense that let in five goals in two matches.
Switzerland
After a fine matchday one win over Cameroon, Switzerland failed to repeat their 1-1 draw with Brazil in 2018 and lost to the Selecao on Monday. Nevertheless, the Red Crosses need a draw in their third gam with Serbia given that Brazil don’t lose to Cameroon by a big margin!
In their match against Brazil, coach Murat Yakin adopted a compact defense to close down the spaces for the Selecao. That plan almost worked but the Swiss conceded for the eighth time in the last ten fixtures. Moreover, the Red Crosses couldn’t find a single shot on Brazil’s goal.

Serbia vs Switzerland Prediction
As with almost all final round games, this match will be a very tense one since both teams are fighting for a knockout stage berth. As a result, we expect a tense game and, we predict over 3.5 yellow cards to be awarded in this game.

Serbia will be on the attack from the start and with the talent they have upfront, we expect them to score. We saw Serbia’s vulnerability in the rearguard when they attack so we expect Switzerland get on the scoresheet as well. At Vbet, both teams to score has odds of 1.75.
