KALININGRAD, Russia (Reuters) - Serbia had two paths into the World Cup knockout round and following a 2-1 loss to Switzerland on Friday will have to navigate the more treacherous route around a Brazilian road block.

Victory over Switzerland would have sent Serbia through with a game to spare but they now face the prospect of getting a result against the five-times world champions who have also yet to secure their place in the last 16.
