Serbia hoping for cheese-like holes in Swiss defence

Serbia coach Dragan Stojkovic hopes to find holes in Switzerland's defences, like in their famous cheese, when they meet in their final World Cup Group G game as they bid to qualify for the knockout stages for the first time.

Bottom side Serbia sit two points behind second-placed Switzerland and must win to have any hope of progressing to the last 16, while the Swiss would need only a draw if Cameroon do not beat Brazil.

"We'd really like to talk about their cheese and find their weak spots - the holes - to get the result we aspire to," Stojkovic told reporters ahead of Friday's game at Stadium 974.

"We knew after the (group stage) draw was held that Brazil is an entirely different dimension and we would be fighting for second place with Cameroon and Switzerland. These forecasts brought us to this point.

"We knew the match with Switzerland would be of major importance as the last one in the group, and this is what we're now faced with... We've witnessed a lot of surprises at this World Cup, but we will be ready." Serbia played the first two group games with just Aleksandar Mitrovic spearheading the attack. Stojkovic said Dusan Vlahovic is fit but would not confirm his participation.
