Co-hosts Canada can win the group at home; Switzerland stand in the way in Vancouver

A two-way race for the group

Canada top Group B on four points with a goal difference of plus six, after a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina and a 6-0 win over Qatar. Switzerland are level on four with a plus-three difference, having drawn 1-1 with Qatar and beaten Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1. Bosnia sit third on one point, Qatar fourth on one. Both Canada and Switzerland are well placed to advance; what is open is who finishes first.

What is at stake

The winner takes top spot in Group B and the seeding that comes with it. A draw would likely send both through but leave Canada ahead on the current goal difference. For a co-host, closing out the group stage in first on home turf in Vancouver is the prize on offer; for Switzerland, a win would flip the order and hand them the group. The simultaneous Bosnia vs Qatar match can still affect the third-place picture but not the top two here.
