Group B, Decoded: Canada & Switzerland Hold the Aces (Live Odds)

Two teams have done the hard work; the last day is mostly about order. We update this page every day through the group stage — newest odds at the top.

📊 Latest — June 20

Canada lead on 4 points with a big +6 goal difference; Switzerland are also on 4 (+3). Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar sit on 1 each. Final games (June 24): Switzerland vs Canada, and Bosnia vs Qatar.

Here's every way it can go:

• Canada and Switzerland are both all but through — Bosnia and Qatar can't catch them, and they play each other, so only one of the two can even reach four points.
• Their head-to-head decides who wins the group. With Canada's huge goal difference, even a draw sends Canada top.
• Switzerland need a win to finish first.
• Bosnia or Qatar can only chase a long-shot third — and with −3 and −6 goal differences, even the winner of their game is a fragile best-third hope.

Short version: Canada vs Switzerland is a first-place decider between two qualified teams; the bottom two are playing for a faint hope.
