Match preview

Switzerland and Canada meet in Group B of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Switzerland, a perennial knockout-stage contender, rely on a disciplined defensive structure and swift counter-attacks. Under manager Murat Yakin, they blend experience (Granit Xhaka, Manuel Akanji) with emerging talents like Zeki Amdouni. Their strength lies in set pieces and midfield control. Canada, co-hosts for 2026, have evolved beyond their CONCACAF roots under Jesse Marsch. With Alphonso Davies bombing forward from left-back and Jonathan David leading the line, they thrive on transition speed and pressing. Key battle: Switzerland's compact defense vs Canada's pace. Switzerland need to avoid early pressure; Canada must convert chances. Both teams aim to secure points for knockout qualification.

Canada

Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) — explosive left-back, devastating on the counter
Jonathan David (Lille) — clinical striker, key to Canada's goal threat
