Portugal vs Switzerland: World Cup 2022 prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds today

Only once since 1966, the days of Eusebio, have the Selecao qualified for the last eight of the global tournament.

They are on an even longer wait for a World Cup quarter-final berth - their last appearance came in 1958.
