Co-hosts Canada headline a balanced group where Switzerland are the form pick and nobody is a walkover.
The Group B Teams
Switzerland FIFA #17 · UEFA
Tournament-tough and defensively sound — the highest-ranked team in the group and a reliable knockout side.
Canada FIFA #27 · CONCACAF
Co-hosts with genuine pace in Davies and Larin and the energy of a home crowd behind them.
Bosnia and Herzegovina FIFA #70 · UEFA
Play-off survivors with a streetwise edge; can frustrate but lack squad depth.
Qatar FIFA #52 · AFC
Asian champions on their day, but a tough draw away from home.
TACTIX's Predicted Finish
Switzerland's know-how edges top spot; Canada's home advantage should secure the runners-up place. The top two in every group reach the new Round of 32, and the eight best third-placed teams join them — so third place is far from the end of the road.
Key Fixture
Switzerland vs Canada — the match most likely to settle Group B.
