Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic has said that his side have settled into the World Cup in Russia after their 1-1 draw with Brazil.

Steven Zuber's second-half header cancelled out Philippe Coutinho's earlier strike last Sunday as Tite's side stuttered in their tournament opener.

Petkovic told the Daily Mail that his side's performance last weekend will allow the team to develop in their meeting with Switzerland on Friday.

"The first [match] is always the most difficult match because when you come to the first match you don't really know how the team is feeling, if they are in top form or not," the manager said.

"We are going to be able to confirm this avenue that we are on, that we are on the right track.

"On the second match you either have more certainty or more doubts. For us the second match is going to give us more certainty."

Switzerland are on a seven-match unbeaten run heading into Friday's tie.
