Switzerland head into this game in a comfortable position — a win here combined with a Philippines loss will place them in the round of 16. Norway is in a far more precarious spot — a loss here sends them home.
Norway are 12th in FIFA standings, and Switzerland come in at 20th. These two teams are extremely evenly matched. In their last three matchups, each team has won one and the third ended in a draw. Switzerland had a heavy shot output in their first game, but struggled to drive up the score, while Norway was surprised by New Zealand and failed to find the goal.
A 1-1 draw seems to be the most likely outcome of this matchup.
