Group B wraps up on Wednesday
Co-hosts Canada and Switzerland meet with top spot at stake
Bosnia & Herzegovina face Qatar with both sides aiming to finish third
The final round of Group B fixtures arrives with plenty still to play for.
Canada and Switzerland go head‑to‑head for top spot in Vancouver with the added incentive for the co-hosts being that it would mean them staying at home for the round of 32.
Elsewhere, Bosnia & Herzegovina face Qatar in Seattle in a battle to avoid elimination.
With qualification, position in the knockout phase bracket and national pride all on the line, there are some strong betting angles for the decisive Group B clashes.
Best Bets:
Johan Manzambi to Score or Get a Card vs Canada @ 7/4
Qatar to have most first-half corners vs Bosnia & Herzegovina @ 13/5
Switzerland vs Canada (Wednesday, 8pm)
Group B’s headline fixture is a straight shootout for first place with Canada only needing to draw to ensure they finish above the Swiss.
Murat Yakin’s men arrive with renewed attacking spark thanks to the emergence of Johan Manzambi, who is fast becoming the breakout star of the tournament.
The 20-year-old Freiburg midfielder has just changed his agent, possibly with the anticipation of getting a big move later this summer.
You can see why some huge clubs may be circling the Geneva native, who came off the bench to score twice in Switzerland’s 4-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
His first was a spectacular volley through a crowd of bodies — a difficult skill to pull off when the ball is dropping from a height.
Then he iced the victory with a simple tap-in after finding space in the Bosnian box.
Manzambi has 14 caps and five international goals, four of which have come as a substitute.
He bagged twice in his final four Bundesliga games for Freiburg last season, too, so clearly is in good goalscoring form.
However, one reason why Yakin may be keeping him out of the starting XI is his overzealous tackling, which saw him receive four yellow cards and two reds in the Bundesliga last term.
Back Manzambi to either score or receive a card in this crucial fixture as he is likely to be a central figure to the contest in one way or another.
Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Qatar (Wednesday, 8pm)
Both teams are coming off heavy defeats and each needs to win, so there is a likelihood that this game opens up quite early on.
The goals would flow if either side were particularly deadly finishers, but there has been little evidence of that so far.
Qatar’s ability to generate corners in this clash may be something to keep an eye on as their opponents’ defensive structure will be disrupted by Tarik Muharemovic’s suspension.
The Sassuolo star is their best header of the ball and his presence will be missed on set pieces.
The Dragons faced a total of nine corners in their opening game against Canada — all of which came before half-time.
Switzerland earned four first-half corners in their 4-1 win over the Bosnians too, and with Qatar having forced three corners in the first 45 minutes of their match against the Swiss, there is scope for Julen Lopetegui’s side to grab a couple of early ones and win more first-half corners.
Best Bets:
Johan Manzambi to Score or Get a Card vs Canada @ 7/4
Qatar to have most first-half corners vs Bosnia & Herzegovina @ 13/5
