Switzerland are coming into this game with the possibility of getting the top position in Group E. If Serbia manage to get a win or a draw against Brazil on Wednesday then Group E will be theirs for the taking.

Switzerland recently beat Serbia 2-1 on Friday thanks to a late goal from Xherdan Shaqiri. This is their first win of the World Cup.

Costa Rica are yet to score a goal in the competition. They are coming into this game following their recent defeat against Brazil which now means that they cannot qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.
