Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina both fell short of securing a win in their opening Group B matches, resulting in 1–1 draws, which has added immense pressure on their impending showdown at the SoFi Stadium.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 1-1 draw with Canada last week marked their sixth consecutive stalemate in regulation time, but the European nation will be pleased with their first World Cup draw as an independent nation.
Switzerland, on the other hand, were left feeling disappointed with their draw against Qatar, despite dominating the proceedings. They cannot afford to replicate their mistakes against Bosnia and Herzegovina, who they lost to in their only previous meeting in 2016.
Here’s how to catch the crucial Group B match.
