Match preview

Switzerland meet Colombia in a round of 16 tie at BC Place in Vancouver. Switzerland are reliable tournament performers who reached the last 16 in 2014, 2018 and 2022. Captained by midfield metronome Granit Xhaka, the Nati combine organisation with quality. They will fancy their chances of escaping a balanced Group B.

Colombia arrive with their own ambitions. Colombia return to the World Cup after missing 2022, having reached the 2024 Copa América final. Coached by Néstor Lorenzo and led by James Rodríguez, Los Cafeteros play attractive attacking football. They aim to match or better their 2014 quarter-final run.
