Switzerland vs Canada: Bet builder tips
Both teams to score in Switzerland vs Canada
For the first pick of our Switzerland vs Canada bet builder, we're backing both teams to score in Vancouver, with Group B's two favourites showing their attacking qualities as they hunt for top spot.
A big win and a 1-1 draw each, both Switzerland and Canada have every right to believe they deserve to be top of this group, and in the game that sets the tone for the remainder of their tournaments, they're bound to go for it. Both sides boast attacking talents who have really found their feet on the world stage in the opening couple of matches, and with every match in Group B featuring goals for both sides so far, we're predicting much of the same here.
With Switzerland and Canada having had 84 shots between them at the World Cup up to this point, the attacking intent is clear for all to see, so Ladbrokes is backing BTTS in our bet builder.
Jonathan David to have 2+ shots on target
Canada's 6-0 win over Qatar last week not only saw the Canucks claim their first-ever World Cup victory, but it also saw the first-ever World Cup hat-trick by a Canadian, and with Jonathan David now feeling untouchable, we're tipping him to have a couple more shots on target here.
The Juventus striker didn't have the most prolific campaign in Serie A, but has already hit the ground running on home soil this summer, and will be desperate to build on the momentum of his hat-trick - writing his name firmly into the Golden Boot conversation in the process. Seven shots in his t wo matches so far shows the threat David carries for Canada, and with the 26-year-old having 50% of his team's shots on target against Qatar, he seems to be the focal point for all Canadian attacks, so more attempts on goal seem inevitable against Switzerland.
Another man who put in an unforgettable performance on matchday two is Switzerland's Johan Manzambi, who we're expecting to start - but in a much tougher test, we're tipping him to pick up a card.
The youngster's double has surely earned him a place in Murat Yakin's lineup this time around, but while his attacking quality cannot be argued, he's still susceptible to getting caught out in midfield. Six cards in the 2025/26 Bundesliga season - including two reds - suggest he doesn't always get his tackles right, and with a foul committed every game on average, he always seems to be right in the thick of the action - in both good and bad moments.
So we're picking Johan Manzambi to be shown a card in this Group B decider, with the 20-year-old overstepping the mark as he looks to set the standard.
Switzerland vs Canada to end all square in Group B
Co-hosts Canada would top the group with a draw thanks to their superior goal difference, and having avoided defeat in their two openers, the home advantage really does seem to be proving beneficial. Both nations come into this one off the back of big, convincing victories, and while Switzerland enter the match as slight favourites to take all three points, the bookies' odds reflect the opinion that this one is going to be very closely contested.
And our experts agree, with Switzerland and Canada being impossible to separate - so we're backing a draw in Vancouver.
