So at time of writing, all we know is that Serbia have already beaten Costa Rica 1-0, and Brazil and Switzerland have drawn 1-1. The Samba boys go off as 1/4 favourites against Costa Rica, so if we lightly pencilled in a win there, we'd have see Brazil topping the group on 4 points, Serbia on 3 and Switzerland on one heading into this game.

A defeat for the Swiss would be pretty bad, as it would move Serbia out of reach. A defeat for Serbia conversly would also look bad for them - they'd remain on 3, with Switzerland and Brazil ahead on 4 a piece and the Swiss facing an easier final round match.
In short, this is a match neither side can really afford to lose, and as such the draw has to be a massive possibility here. Add in that Switzerland continue to persevere with Seferovic up front - a man who seemingly couldnt find a cows arse with a decent sized musical instrument, and we have the recipe for a low scoring stalemate. Seferovic has only scored in four of his last 25 appearances for Switzerland for the record.
Serbia may be the more adventurous of the pair in this, but that would probably suit the Swiss, who would feel pretty confident of qualifying if they took a draw away from this one given that Serbia only scored one goal against Costa Rica. They are currently 5/6 favourites to beat the Central American side in the final match of the group.
2pts Serbia and Switzerland to Draw at 21/10 (General)
