On Wednesday afternoon, the battle for supremacy in Group B will reach its climax in Vancouver, where co-hosts Canada take on Switzerland. The pair come into this game on level points.
The Swiss got going on matchday two, beating Bosnia by four goals to one, showing much more end product, while the same can be said for the Canadians, who after scoring just one goal for time out, shifted through the gears against Qatar, hammering home six.
Given what we saw from these two teams during the last round of group games, this should be entertaining, and both teams should fancy themselves to get on the front foot. ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ catches the eye at odds of +110.

Switzerland - Canada: Form Analysis
After not quite clicking into top gear against Qatar, especially in the final third, where they were rather wasteful, the Swiss stepped on the gas against Bosnia, scoring four goals late on to send themselves into the final round of group games in much stronger offensive form, so much so that Murat Yakin’s men will absolutely expect themselves to do plenty of damage against a Canadian side that looked quite open against Bosnia.
They’ve shown that they have offensive quality, and the likes of Jonathan David, Tajon Buchanon and Cyle Larin should all enjoy playing on the break against the Swiss.
For the Canadians, this is a big chance to top the group in front of a home crowd. They’ve shown that they have offensive quality, and the likes of Jonathan David, Tajon Buchanon and Cyle Larin should all enjoy playing on the break against the Swiss. However, having not been tested defensively against Qatar, and having given up some chances against Bosnia, do they have the defensive strength to keep it tight?

Switzerland & Canada Squad Analysis
Murat Yakin will almost certainly be looking to shake up his starting XI, especially after Switzerland’s finest moments against Bosnia came following substitutions. Both Ruben Vargas and Johan Manzambi made sizable impacts off the bench last time out, with both scoring and assisting. It would be a surprise if either one was left out here.

The Canadians should really line up much as they did last time out, and we can definitely expect to see Jonathan David, Cyle Larin and Tajon Buchanon in offense once more. Unfortunately, as the victim of a poor challenge, Ismael Kone was forced off against Qatar and will miss out. Midfielder Nathan Saliba impressed as a substitute last time out, scoring a fine set-piece goal. He could be the one to replace Kone.

Our Switzerland vs Canada Prediction
The way in which both teams played last time out means that we should see two confident teams take to the field in Vancouver, where attacking play could be the order of the day. Neither team will want to lose momentum, and neither team can really afford to sit back and wait, so much so that ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ rates as a good play at odds of +110.
With both teams scoring so many goals last time out, and with Canada looking like a team that needs to be on the front foot, an open game is likely, and that could very easily lead to no shortage of goals being scored.
Our Switzerland vs Canada Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
