SERBIA v SWITZERLAND
Live on BBC 1. Friday June 22, kick-off 7pm
BOTH these sides started with good results in Group E but I'm not expecting a classic when they go head to head.
Serbia's 1-0 win over Costa Rica means another victory will send them through to the knockout stage while Switzerland's come-from-behind 1-1 draw with Brazil was a point they didn't expect to pocket.
The Serbs and Swiss are pretty evenly matched – solid in defence and difficult to break down. Serbia boast the better individual talent in the likes of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Kolorov, whose set-piece brilliant proved the difference in the opener.
But Xherdan Shaqiri is a superstar on his day for the Swiss and a moment of magic from either team could settle this one.
So a tight affair looks on the cards and goals could be few and far between. Aleksandar Mitrovic was only denied a goal by a fine Keylor Navas save last time out but the Serb striker could be the man to break the deadlock.
