Prediction
Although Brazil haven’t had the start to the tournament that was expected of them it’s reasonable to assume that they will be able to beat Serbia and secure their place in the round of 16.
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of the climax of Group E.
Brazil can secure their place in the last-16 later today but don't sleep on Serbia who also have their eyes on the knockout phase.
Switzerland have one foot there already but Costa Rica could cause them more than a few problems as well.
We will have all the latest build-up from Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod right here so don't touch that dial.
Are you still digesting the results of Group F's earlier games? I know I am
But we've got still got two games to go! Here are the line ups for both matches
AS it stands in Group E, Costa Rica are out but Serbia, Brazil and Switzerland could all progress.
A win for either Serbia will be enough for them to go through, but Brazil need to avoid a loss if they want to qualify.
Switzerland will qualify with a win over Costa Rica but would have to rely on other results if they lose or draw.
We could be in for another cracking evening of World Cup football here!
The fans are in the house in Moscow, these guys will want a better performance their side today, they left it late against Costa Rica but with the way this group stands early goals could be key for Brazil
These guys feel like an upset could happen, Serbia let it slip against Switzerland, will they be back on form tonight?
Xherdan Shaqiri came to the rescue for Switzerland in the last minutes of the game against Serbia, will he do it again tonight?
Kick off is just over 10 minutes away
The anthems are over, the stage is set, Serbia vs Brazil, Switzerland vs Costa Rica here we go!

3 mins: SERBIA 0 - 0 BRAZIL
Brazil break again, and Jesus gets the ball on a one on one with Stojkovic but he's way offside
