Ahead of Monday's World Cup meeting between Brazil and Switzerland, Sports Mole looks at how both squads compare, including their most valuable and top-scoring players.

Looking to maintain their perfect start to the World Cup campaign, a star-studded Brazil go head to head with Switzerland at Stadium 974 in the second round of Group G fixtures on Monday.

Heavily fancied to go all the way in Qatar, Tite's men kicked off their quest for a record-extending sixth World Cup title with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Serbia courtesy of a second-half brace from Richarlison.

Switzerland's quest for a third successive knockout-stage appearance got off to the right start as they held form to claim a slender 1-0 victory over Cameroon in Thursday's group opener.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Brazil and Switzerland stack up against each other ahead of Monday's matchup.
