Match Preview

Sweden were unlikely winners of a group that included Germany and Mexico, winning 1-0 against South Korea and 3-0 over Mexico. Janne Andersson's side also could have taken points off defending champions Germany if it wasn't for a stoppage-time Toni Kroos free-kick – though Die Mannschaft ended up finishing bottom of their group anyway after losing 2-0 to South Korea in their final group fixture.

Sweden will be looking to reach the quarter-finals of a World Cup for the first time since the 1994 tournament when they finished third. Switzerland, meanwhile, have not reached the quarter-final stage since 1954, when they hosted the competition.

Sweden's form this tournament has been impressive, although they were in danger of being eliminated following their last-minute loss to Germany. But their response to that defeat was positive as they were able to emphatically beat Mexico 3-0 in their final Group F fixture, and will have momentum on their side as they head into their clash against Switzerland.

Andreas Granqvist has scored two goals at the tournament so far – both spot-kicks.

Switzerland finished as Group E runners-up, having won one and drawn two of their fixtures, including a hard-fought 1-1 stalemate against Brazil.

Their start to the tournament has been strong, winning 2-1 over Serbia after their draw against Brazil and then finishing 2-2 against Costa Rica. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer scored an own goal in the 93rd minute, but didn't hinder their second-place group finish.

The winner of the last-16 fixture will go on to face Colombia or England in the quarter-finals.
