Here is what every team in Group B needs heading into the final matchday.

Current Group B Standings Group B Scenarios Canada Canada will win Group B and advance to the Round of 32 with a win or draw against Switzerland.
A loss still sees Canada advance in second place unless Bosnia and Herzegovina wins their match against Qatar and makes up a nine-goal swing in goal difference (an essentially impossible scenario given Canada's +6 and Bosnia's -3).
Canada is on to the knockouts regardless of the result in any realistic outcome.
Switzerland Switzerland will advance and win Group B with a win or draw against Canada.
A draw also guarantees advancement, just in second place.
Even a loss keeps Switzerland through unless Qatar wins against Bosnia and Herzegovina and overcomes a nine-goal deficit in goal difference against Switzerland (another near-impossible scenario).
Switzerland, like Canada, is effectively through no matter what.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina can secure a third-place finish and keep alive their chances of advancing as one of the eight best third-place teams in the tournament with either a win or a draw against Qatar.
A win gives Bosnia the best possible third-place standing, though it still depends on how their record compares to other third-place finishers across all 12 groups.
A loss eliminates them from contention.
Qatar Qatar can finish third with a win against Bosnia and Herzegovina, but only if Switzerland simultaneously loses to Canada by enough to overcome a nine-goal swing in goal difference between the two sides.
That combination is functionally impossible.
A more realistic path does not exist: Qatar is effectively eliminated heading into today's match, but will be looking to finish on a high note on home soil.
