Switzerland and Canada are competing for first place when they trade blows at BC Place in their Group B finale this Wednesday. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After collecting four points from their opening two matches, the nations are both all but guaranteed their place in the last 32 of the World Cup. However, a victory in Vancouver will decide who finishes at the summit of the standings, and therefore receives a simpler tie\u2014on paper, at least\u2014in the first knockout round. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A draw would suit Canada, who currently lead Group B on goal difference courtesy of its recent 6\u20130 demolition of Qatar, but it would also confirm that both nations finish inside the top two. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Switzerland needs victory to usurp the co-hosts, buoyed by its 4\u20131 thrashing of Bosnia & Herzegovina last time out, but knows it must overcome a confident Canadian side boasting home advantage. <\/p>\n

Canada, like its fellow co-hosts, is unbeaten at the World Cup<\/a> to date, and made history with a maiden victory in the competition against Qatar. However, its sternest test arrives in its Group B finale. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Switzerland\u2019s profligacy proved costly in its opening 1\u20131 draw against Qatar, in which it conceded a stoppage-time equalizer despite producing an expected goals total of 3.20, but it found its clinical edge against Bosnia & Herzegovina with a 4\u20131 win last time out. Murat Yakin\u2019s men should be brimming with confidence. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While Canada has also been boosted by a handsome win, it doesn\u2018t boast quite the same depth of talent as Switzerland does, and could come up short in its last group stage outing. <\/p>\n
