Switzerland and Bosnia & Herzegovina both squandered leads during 1–1 draws in their opening fixtures in Group B, piling extra pressure on Thursday’s battle between the nations at SoFi Stadium.
Bosnia & Herzegovina’s 1–1 draw with Canada last week was its sixth successive stalemate in regulation time, but the Europeans will have come away from their fiery contest with the co-hosts pleased by a first ever draw at the World Cup as an independent nation.
Switzerland was less enamored by its draw with Qatar by the same scoreline, with Murat Yakin’s men absolutely dominating proceedings but being punished for their profligacy in stoppage time. They simply can’t afford to repeat their mistakes against Bosnia & Herzegovina, whom they lost to in the only past meeting between the teams all the way back in 2016.
Here’s how to catch a crucial match in Group B.
