There’s everything to play for in this Group G finale as Serbia and Switzerland face off for a spot in the World Cup knockout stages.
Switzerland are second in the standings and a draw will likely be enough thanks to their victory over Cameroon.
Serbia squandered a two-goal lead against the African nation to draw 3-3, and that means only a win will do if they are to qualify. Both of these teams are also banking on Brazil winning the other game.

4 hrs 45 mins from kickoff: Things are less clear for Serbia: they need to win this match and hope that Cameroon do not spring a surprise and defeat Brazil. There’s plenty of pressure on the likes of Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic today.

Serbia vs. Switzerland lineups, team news
For the first 53 minutes, Serbia largely dominated their most recent match against Cameroon with their starting side finally clicking in the final third.
With no injuries or suspensions to speak of, Dragan Stojkovic will likely look to field the same lineup and hope they can put in a full 90-minute performance.
Serbia projected lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): 23. V. Milinkovic-Savic (GK) — 4. Milenkovic, 5. Veljkovic, 2. Pavlovic — 14. Zivkovic, 6. Maksimovic, 16. Lukic, 17. Kostic — 10. Tadic, 20. S. Milinkovic-Savic — 9. Mitrovic.
Noah Okafor sat out of the Brazil game with a thigh problem and remains a doubt for this match. Renato Steffen missed Switzerland’s opening game but came on as a substitute last time out and could now be pushing for a start.
Xherdan Shaqiri didn’t see any action against Brazil so could be primed for a big match if coach Murat Yakin decides to use him.
Switzerland projected lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): 1. Sommer (GK) — 3. Widmer, 5. Akanji, 4. Elvedi, 13. Rodriguez — 8. Freuler, 10. Xhaka — 11. Steffen, 15. Sow, 17. Vargas — 7. Embolo.
