Chile vs. Switzerland, Group H
Date : June 21
Location : Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth
CHILE VS SWITZERLAND PREVIEW
Did anyone previously guessed that this game could decide first place in Group H? After Chile defeated Honduras 1-0, and Switzerland overthrew European champions Spain with the same score 1-0. A win in this game will guarantee qualification to the second round. According to you, who would win this match? Here is a preview of Chile vs. Switzerland.
Players Conditions
Midfielders Carlos Carmona and Matias Fernandez each earned a yellow card in Chile's previous match. If either one receives another against Switzerland, he will be suspended for his country's final game of the group stage.
Goalkeeper Diego Benaglio, defenders Stephane Grichting and Reto Ziegler, and midfielder Hakin Yakin are in a similar situation for Switzerland.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Chile
Rodrigo Tello — The speedy Besikitas midfielder is always a threat with the ball at his feet because the 30-year-old is deadly accurate from long range, as Manchester United can attest after he scored the winner against them in a 2009-10 Champions League group match.
Switzerland
Tranquillo Barnetta — The 25-year-old Bayer Leverkusen attacker is equally comfortable in midfield or on the wing, where he uses his blazing pace and passing skills to cause problems for defence.

PREDICTION - Prediksi Chile vs Switzerland
Who would have guessed that Switzerland are able to defeat Spain in Durban? By relying on strong defense and effective counter-attack, Switzerland could have gone back to get a victory against Chile. But with the ability of the Chilean players who can attack from every position, and the absence of Philipe Sanderos in the heart of the Swiss defense, this game will most likely end in a draw. Switzerland vs Chile match prediction is 1-1.
