Recommended bet: Switzerland to win and both teams to score @ 7/2 with LiveScore Bet
Switzerland came to life in the second half of their tie with Bosnia & Herzegovina and they now face a straight shootout for top spot in Group B as they face co-hosts Canada in Vancouver.
After a wasteful opener against Bosnia, the Maple Leafs converted their dominance into a big win over the nine men of Qatar in their second game, and a point would be enough to clinch top spot in Group B.

Team news
Miro Muheim is injured for Switzerland, but Johan Manzambi could come into the starting lineup after scoring twice off the bench against Bosnia & Herzegovina, while Ruben Vargas is also expected to return to the starting XI.
Canada star Ismael Kone suffered a broken leg against Qatar and will be out for the rest of the tournament, with Nathan Saliba expected to replace him.
Kone joins Alfie Jones on the sidelines, while Alphonso Davies is still a fitness doubt after being an unused substitute last time out.

Prediction
A wasteful opener saw Switzerland held to a 1-1 draw with Qatar, despite having over two-thirds of possession and having 26 attempts on goal.
However, they bounced back from their opening-round disappointment to put in a scintillating second-half performance against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The Swiss scored four second-half goals to clinch a 4-1 victory and, with a win guaranteeing top spot in Group B, they will be motivated to go for all three points against co-hosts Canada.
The Maple Leafs also opened their campaign with a draw but, like the Swiss, they put in a vastly improved performance against Qatar, making good use of their numerical advantage to thrash them 6-0.
Kone’s serious leg injury in the first half dampened Canadian spirits, though, and Switzerland are a step up in quality to the sides they have faced so far.
The favourites have won nine of their last 15 games and look good value to secure top spot, but they have conceded in seven of their last eight games and are unlikely to shut out a Canadian side that have scored in seven of their last eight fixtures.
