Six of Switzerland's matches in qualifying ended up with over 2.5 goals and several of their games saw both sides register goals so it could be best to think there will be a few goals in this one.

Meanwhile Switzerland will be looking to players such as veteran striker Alexander Frei, joint top scorer in qualifying Blaise Nfuko and also Hakan Yakin for most of their goals so if any of these players are absent it would be a major blow.

Humberto Suazo was in inspired form in qualifying, scoring more than the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Fabiano, two of the favourites to be the World Cup Golden Boot this year.

The braver punters may even choose to back Suazo to help himself to a hat trick although that might be a bit too much of an ask.
