Well, this represents a fantastic opportunity for one of these teams to make the last 8.
Sweden as I said in their opening group game, don't have a great knockout record, but are no strangers to getting out of the groups. They've made the last 16 of their last 3 world cups, but have come up short every time. They come into this game in decent form. They could and should have gotten a result against Germany, but admirably picked themselves up and breezed past Mexico in impressive style. They'll be full of confidence for sure.
As for Switerland, they also have a poor knockout record, having not won a knockout game at a major tournament since 1954, so this is probably going to be their best chance at doing that. They got an admirable point against Brazil, beat Serbia, but could only draw with Costa Rica. They've got some talented players, but enough to beat Sweden?
Should be a tight cagey game, think Sweden narrowly take this after extra time.
