Group E, Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, Nizhny Novgorod
Starting lineups announced
Pregame thoughts
Switzerland will advance to the knockout round for the third time in the past four World Cups with either a win or a draw against Costa Rica. Should the Swiss lose to Los Ticos, who have already been eliminated and are looking to play spoiler, they could still reach the round of 16 if Brazil loses to Serbia. Switzerland has erased one-goal deficits in each of its first two matches of the group stage, while Costa Rica has yet to score in the tournament.
