Switzerland and Canada both know they will be heading to the next stage of the tournament, but this one will decide where they will finish in Group B and who they will face in the Round of 32.
To celebrate the momentous occasion that is the World Cup, Sportsbet is bringing back its exclusive Super Sub feature!
How does Super Sub work? Well, it’s very simple. Place a bet on select player markets throughout the Men’s World Cup and if that player is subbed off your bet rolls over to the new player that replaced them.
For example, if you’ve bet on Kylian Mbappe to score during one of France’s matches and during that match he fails to do so and is directly substituted for Jean-Philippe Mateta who ends up scoring instead, your original bet on Mbappe is paid as a winner!
Super Sub is not exclusive to goalscoring markets either, it also applies to anytime assist, player to win one or more fouls, shots on target and more, just make sure to read all the T&Cs before locking in your bet.

Switzerland vs Canada prediction
Switzerland have been made the early favourites to win this upcoming encounter in the moneyline odds, and as our Switzerland vs Canada betting odds page shows, the quality of their squad is perhaps the reason for them to be perceived as the favourites to beat one of the co-hosts.
Murat Yakin’s side did defeat Bosnia & Herzegovina 4-1 in a tie that featured heavy dominance, having slipped up against Qatar (1-1). Canada destroyed Qatar 6-0 after drawing 1-1 with Bosnia. With these results in mind, we think there might be better value in the ‘Draw’ on the moneyline.
Three of Switzerland's last four tournament Group Stage matches against CONCACAF nations have resulted in a draw, while Canada have shown some resilience and resolve in front of their home support.
With Vancouver hosting this one, Jesse Marsch’s side could use that to help them produce another top result in what looked a challenging group.
Before you settle on a price, have a squiz at the latest World Cup betting odds for both sides, and if you've got some credit sitting there, our rundown on how bonus bets work is worth a read.
Switzerland vs Canada score prediction
Although both nations have shown they can score goals, this one might not be as fruitful for either in this department.
The ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ market has value to hit, as does the BTTS. The 'Under 2.5 Goals' market has hit in five of Canada's six previous tournament matches against UEFA nations, while the BTTS has hit in each of Switzerland's last four matches in this major tournament.
A 0-0 scoreline at halftime also offers some additional value, despite the data suggesting that there could be a couple of goals in this one.
The half-time scoreline has been 0-0 in four of Switzerland's last five day matches at the major tournament.
Still, the 1-1 option as the correct score offers the best value. Including qualifiers, two of Switzerland's last three matches have resulted in a 1-1 draw.
This is our prediction for this game, as we think both will cancel each other out, despite both knowing that they have already qualified for the next stage.
If you fancy stacking this one with a few other results, it's worth brushing up on how a multi bet works first, and our World Cup betting markets guide breaks down the options for clashes like this one.

Marsch's co-hosts are built on a high press and vertical, transition-heavy attacking, having hammered Qatar 6-0 on matchday two.

Player markets to watch
Johan Manzambi netted twice against Bosnia in the recent outing, and offers value to find the back of the net against Canada.
He had two in qualifying, while the SC Freiburg midfielder has five across 14 caps for his country. He also had a decent year in front of goal last season for the Bundesliga outfit, netting seven across all 42 games in all competitions.
Manzambi may offer better value in the ‘To Score or Assist’ market in this game, as he also had seven assists in the 42 games for his club last season.
Having yet to start in this tournament, he could be used by his manager to make something happen if things are looking stale.
Ruben Vargas is another who could have value worth exploring in the ‘To Score or Assist’ market. He has one goal and one assist in two games for Switzerland at this tournament, scoring and assisting against Bosnia.
Embolo offers value as an anytime goalscorer after netting against Qatar and being a threat against Bosnia.
For Canada, the value is in Cyle Larin and Jonathan David. David netted a hat-trick against Qatar, while Larin has two goals in the first two games of this tournament.
They are the main attacking threat for the co-hosts, while Buchanan offers value in the ‘To Score or Assist’ market after having two solid attempts in the Qatar game.
