Switzerland team news: Predicted Switzerland line up vs Serbia – Midfield injury doubt

Switzerland head into tonight’s clash with Serbia knowing a victory will be crucial in keeping their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive.

The focus will be on Xherdan Shaqiri to provide the attacking impetus in a defensive-minded team, with Serbia set to seal qualification to the next round if they secure three points.

Switzerland are sweating on the fitness of key midfielder Valon Behrami after the former Watford ace strained his thigh against Brazil.

The 33-year-old, who now plays for Udinese in Serie A, was in fine form last time out and even received death threats after his enthusiastic marking of Neymar.

Remo Freuler or Gelson Fernandes could replace Behrami if he fails to prove his fitness, while Steven Zubar and Haris Seferovic are expected to continue in attack.
