In a Group G group stage match, Brazil (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) and Switzerland (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) meet Monday at Stadium 974 in Doha at 11 a.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Brazil vs. Switzerland odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.
Brazil opened the 2022 World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Serbia. Richarlison netted 2 goals at 61′ and 72′ in that victory, and he also reportedly netted 4 million new followers on Instagram as a result.
Brazil outshot Serbia 21-5 in the opener, while posting a 9-0 advantage in shots on target. It also had a 59.0%-to-41.0% possession advantage.
Switzerland had a tougher time with its opponent, Cameroon, in the opener. The African team had several better chances in the 1st half, but it was unable to convert. Breel Embolo had no problem for Switzerland, hitting the eventual winner at 48′, as Rossocrociati scored the 1-0 victory.
It was a very even match with Cameroon, as Switzerland outshot its opponent just 7-6, while it was even on shots on target at 3-3. Cameroon actually out-possessed Switzerland 51%-to-49%.

Prediction
Brazil 2, Switzerland 0
Moneyline (ML)
It might be tempting to consider Switzerland +600 for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 6 times. They are No. 15 in the FIFA worls rankings.
However, the Swiss side should feel fortunate to have picked up a win, and not a draw, or even a loss, in the opener against Cameron.
No. 1-ranked Brazil (-205) might have the deepest team in this World Cup, and Seleção posted an impressive 2-0 win over Serbia in the opener. There is some concern here, as Neymar is nursing an ankle injury, and uncertain to play. But Richarlison proved he is up to the task of starring for Canarinho.
Playing Brazil on the 3-way line is expensive, costing more than 2 times your potential return. Take BRAZIL -1 (+130) at plus-money as a much better option.
Over/Under (O/U)
The UNDER 2.5 (-105) is worth a look here. Both of these clubs hit the Under 2.5 goals in their opening matches, and Brazil should be able to toss a blanket on a Switzerland side which was unable to generate much offense against Cameroon.
