HALF-TIME: BRAZIL 0-0 SWITZERLAND.

A cagey half in which both teams opted for a defensive approach. Richarlison had a couple of chances to put his side ahead and will be the key man in the second half as well. Switzerland and Sommer did well to keep a clean sheet and if they can just get a goal in, they might just win this.

27' Vinicius is brought down near the sidelines but the referee awards no free-kick, the Real Madrid star gets up quickly and regains possession. The move created by him sees Raphinha sending in a left-footed curling cross into the box and Vinicius sees his shot saved by Sommer!

23' Brazil with the better share of chances thus far but Switzerland also looking to threaten on the break, every now and then.

19' Brazil come close again! Vinicius with brilliant footwork on the left flank and Paqueta picks up the ball from him and sends in a low cross. Richarlison goes full-stretch but Elvedi makes a crucial intervention to clear the ball away.

5' Alisson with a rare mistake! The Liverpool goalkeeper gives away the ball after a routine back-pass from Marquinhos. Vargas connects to the ball but is surrounded by yellow shirts quickly.

Brazil have picked up just a couple of wins (both against Serbia) in their last six games against European opponents in the World Cup.
Switzerland are winless in their last three meetings against South American (CONMEBOL) opponents in the World Cup.

Brazil are undefeated in the group stage at the World Cup in their last 16 games, a streak the South American giants have maintained since a 2-1 defeat against Norway in the 1998 World Cup. They can create a new record to become the first team to go undefeated in 17 group stage games, if they can avoid a defeat in this match.

A Seleção have won four of their last five games at the FIFA World Cup by a scoreline of 2-0.
Switzerland have picked up a couple of win in their last five games at the World Cup, with both the wins coming by a one-goal margin.

Brazil head into the game on an eight-game winning streak across all competitions, scoring at least two goals in seven games during that period.
Switzerland have won four of their last five games across all competitions, scoring at least a goal in four of these games.

They have met twice in the World Cup as well. First, in the 1950 edition of the competition and then meeting again in the group stage in 2018. Both games ended in draws, with the game in 1950 ending 2-2 and the meeting in 2018 ending in a 1-1 draw, with Philippe Coutinho scoring for Brazil and Steven Zuber equalizing for Switzerland.

The two teams are meeting for the 10th time across all competitions. The head-to-head record is closer than we might expect as Brazil have a narrow 3-2 lead in wins while as many as four games have ended in draws.
Interestingly, Brazil are winless in their last two meetings against the European team, with one game ending in a 1-1 draw and Switzerland securing a 1-0 win in the other.

Brazil Bench -
Antony, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Pedro, Rodrygo, Bruno Guimaraes, Éverton Ribeiro, Fabinho, Alex Telles, Dani Alves, Gleison Bremer, Ederson Moraes, Weverton

Switzerland Bench -
Haris Seferovic, Renato Steffen, Ardon Jashari, Christian Fassnacht, Denis Zakaria, Edimilson Fernandes, Fabian Frei, Michel Aebischer, Xherdan Shaqiri, Eray Cömert, Fabian Schär, Gregor Kobel, Jonas Omlin, Philipp Köhn

Here's how the two teams are lining up for their crucial 2022 FIFA World Cup Group G game -

Brazil (4-3-3): Alisson (GK); Eder Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Alex Sandro; Fred, Lucas Paqueta, Casemiro; Raphinha, Richarlison, Vinicius Junior

Switzerland (4-2-3-1): Yann Sommer (GK); Silvan Widmer, Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi, Ricardo Rodriguez; Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka; Fabian Rieder, Djibril Sow, Ruben Vargas; Breel Embolo

The lineups are in!

Brazil are taking to the pitch without Neymar, who is injured and is ruled out of the group stage. Tite has changed the formation and has fielded a three-man midfield with Fred starting alongside Lucas Paqueta and Casemiro. One change in the defense as well, with Eder Militao replacing Danilo ar right back.

Switzerland also make a major change as Fabian Rieder starts in place of Xherdan Shaqiri, who picked up the assist for Embolo's goal against Cameroon, interesting.

The winner of the match will secure their place in the knockout stage, joining reigning champions France as just the second team to do so at the Qatar World Cup. If they share the spoils, they will have to wait until Saturday to book their places in the next round, when they play their last group stage games.

Brazil and Switzerland began their 2022 FIFA World Cup campaigns with a win, as the five-time champions defeated Serbia, thanks to Richarlison's second-half brace and Switzerland eked out a 1-0 win over Cameroon, thanks to Breel Embolo's second half goal.

Hello and a warm welcome to FIFA World Cup 2022 game between Brazil and Switzerland in Group G at Stadium 974 - Ras Abu Aboud, Doha, Qatar.
