Your support makes all the difference.Brazil are the hot favourite this year and are hoping to add a sixth World Cup title to their trophy cabinet.
The South American giants have had an excellent display of form, losing only one game out of 21 and conceded five goals in the process.
Switzerland, on the other hand, are looking to give the Brazilians a challenge, after only losing one out of 17 games since the Euro 2016.
Both squads have a good chance at snatching three points but with the Swiss being the clear underdogs in their group, a draw would be a massive boost for them.

64 mins: The Brazilians look like a different side to the one that overwhelmed the Swiss defence early on. Switzerland having some more possession and looking to get the ball out wide
67 mins: Willian with some good skill to beat his defender down the right, but blazes a shot over the bar
Paulinho replaced by Renato Augusto, whilst Behrami eventually picks up a yellow for one of many challenges on Neymar
70 mins: Coutinho makes himself a chance with some beautiful chest control to beat the defender, but he slices his effort wide
Behrami, after his yellow, is substituted for Zakaria
73 mins: Jesus down in the penalty area, after being felled by Akanji, VAR reviewed the decision for play to continue, but contact looks to be minimal and we move on
Our reporter in Russia thinks Brazil and Gabriel Jesus SHOULD have been awarded a penalty. What do you think?
79 mins: A sight you don't want to see as a tired Swiss defender? Roberto Firmino. He's on in place of Gabriel Jesus
Another attacking talent is on for Switzerland, Breel Embolo replaces Serferovic up front
84 mins: Are we approaching shock two of the day? Brazil running out of time to find a way past a stubborn Switzerland
87 mins: Lichtsteiner makes way for Lang. Arsenal's new signing really put a shift in for his team
88 mins: It's a chance for Brazil's brightest star, Neymar. He catches his header almost too well, and it's straight at Sommer in the Swiss goal
