The previous World Cup host Qatar takes to the field in San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, Santa Clara this Saturday, looking to upset a Switzerland team expected to canter into the knockout phase of this summer’s tournament.
Group B is statistically the weakest in the competition based on FIFA rankings, and Switzerland should top the standings, even if co-hosts Canada and surprise qualifiers Bosnia & Herzegovina push it all the way.
The Swiss boast immense World Cup experience despite perennially underachieving. They have stumbled in the round of 16 at the last three tournaments and their best ever finish saw them reach the quarterfinals all the way back in 1954, when they hosted the competition.
While the Europeans aren’t expected to pull up any trees this summer, they have a much greater shot at success than Qatar.
The 2022 tournament hosts failed to make it out of the group stage at their first World Cup, and just one victory over the past year hints at another early exit. Despite being led by ex-Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui, Qatar lacks real quality in each section of its roster.
