Form guide
Last 10 internationals, most recent first (includes World Cup matches).
Predicted: Switzerland to win
Switzerland face Canada as the two sides meet in Group B of the 2026 World Cup. Switzerland (#19) carry a meaningful 93-point ELO advantage over Canada (#30), enough to make them favourites without making the result a foregone conclusion.
Form backs the read up to a point. Switzerland are 4-5-1 (W-D-L) across their last 10, while Canada have gone 4-4-2 in their last 10. Switzerland arrive in the better recent rhythm, which the model weights alongside ranking and team metrics.
With no recent head-to-head to lean on, the group context matters most. Both sides know that points here shape who advances from Group B, and the model treats it as a one-off on a neutral footing.
Verdict: Switzerland are favoured at 45%, but with the draw at 20% and the underdog live, this is closer than the table suggests. A probability is not a certainty.
