Action ought to be crackling in Vancouver with top spot in Group B at stake and tri-host Canada needing just a draw to finish atop and a chance to stay north of the border into the KO phase.

Yet the ride thru 90 minutes might be as fast-paced as the downhil run at nearby Whistler as both sides found extra gears in their second matches. For the Swiss, the introduction of Freiburg’s livewire 20-year-old midfielder Johan Manzambi (who netted a brace) ignited the attack in a 4-1 romp past the Bosnians, while the Canadians finally got past their World Cup jitters and put six past Qatar, with Juventus striker Jonathan David providing much of the fireworks with a hat-trick. It's much easier to envision these sides opening up the throttle after last Thursday’s explosive showings. Play Switzerland-Canada “Over” (at Vancouver)

With the top spot in Group A already secured, conventional wisdom would suggest that Mexico is going to rotate its lineup ahead of Wednesday's clash with Czechia. That will likely be the case, but with the desire to put on an entertaining show at Estadio Azteca, we're still expecting to see some goals in this matchup. El Tri has adopted a defense-first mindset under third-term manager Javier Aguirre and the Mexicans have not allowed a goal through the first two games of the tournament. This current edition of the Mexican National Team is missing some of the firepower on offense that previous versions have featured, but nonetheless, the players that take the field in this contest will be looking to generate a memorable moment at one of the world's historic cathedrals. With the top spot already locked up, Aguirre will likely allow his team a little more freedom in this match. The defensive intensity will likely take a back seat as Mexico has already seen a red card in this tournament and Brian Gutiérrez is sitting on a yellow card, which would potentially keep him out of the Round of 32. Czechia is one of the weaker teams in this event, but the Czechs have scored in each of their first two matches against South Korea and South Africa. He looks a little out-of-form at the moment, but Patrik Schick is still one of the most dangerous strikers in this tournament. Both teams to score has cashed in Czechia's last six matches. The Czechs need a win to secure a spot in the knockout round, and that should create some end-to-end action. At the time of posting, both teams to score is available at:
