Curator note: Group B Matchday 2 at BC Place — both opened with 1-1 draws (Canada vs Bosnia, Qatar vs Switzerland), leaving all four sides level on a point, so hosts Canada are expected to win and arguably need to. Canada are clear favourites with home advantage and a ranking edge (30th vs 56th) through Jonathan David and Cyle Larin, though Alphonso Davies is only a bench option as he manages a hamstring. Qatar are organized with a genuine match-winner in Akram Afif, but the quality gap is significant — Opta makes Canada ~73%.
