<p><br /> The thought of Chile against Switzerland as a top-of-the-table clash in the same group as World Cup favourites Spain would have been inconceivable only a few days ago.<br /> </p><p><br /> But both teams are in the unlikely position of being joint Group H leaders after the Swiss stunned the Spaniards 1-0 and Chile beat Honduras by the same scoreline to seal their first win at a World Cup in 48 years.<br /> </p><p><br /> Although far from a mouth-watering game, Monday's encounter has taken on added significance that might just be enough to wake sleepy Port Elizabeth from its World Cup snooze.<br /> </p><p><br /> The defeats for Spain and Honduras, who meet later on Monday in Johannesburg, means a win for either Switzerland or Chile would give them one foot in the next round. The winning side may be able to advance with a defeat in their final game.<br /> </p><p><br /> Chile's last win in the finals until their 1-0 win over Honduras had come in the 3rd/4th place play-off as hosts in 1962. They had since qualified for the World Cup four times but failed to win any group matches.<br /> </p><p><br /> Both sides have vowed not to get ahead of themselves and expect the match to be a physical encounter fought more in the air than on the ground.<br /> </p><p><br /> Chile's players will try to break down a tight Swiss defence and a packed midfield and avoid falling into the same trap as Spain, who dominated their match but lost out to a goal against the run of play.<br /> </p><p><br /> "We definitely have to be careful because with very little possession the Swiss still managed to beat Spain," defender Gary Medel said.<br /> </p><p><br /> "We know that we have to be much more mobile than the Spanish, to create some space, to open up their defence, which looks very closed."<br /> </p>
