Portugal and Switzerland kick off their UEFA World Cup Qualifier on Tuesday.

Portugal is coming off a historic summer, winning the Euro 2016 tournament. Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo also won the UEFA Best Player in Europe award, though he is not going to feature in this crucial fixture for the team teams.

This match is crucial for both sides, particularly Switzerland as they are the two sides from Group B to be likely fighting for first place in the group. Only one side gains automatic qualification to the World Cup while the other team must endure a playoff round later in the year. Portugal had to qualify for the 2014 World Cup via this route when Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals over two matches against Sweden. A win here by Portugal puts it in the driver's seat heading into the rematch in the Iberian nation.

Prediction

Look for a cagey game that plays to both team's desire for defensive soccer. It will likely end in a 0-0 draw.

Start Time, Date, Location

Portugal and Switzerland kick off at 2:45 p.m. EDT on Tuesday
