Levi’s Stadium will host an intriguing World Cup Group B opener as Qatar look to claim a major scalp against an experienced Switzerland side. However, we predict a 2-0 away win as gap in quality between the two sides is pretty big. The Qataris are eager to claim a major scalp on the biggest stage, with veteran Hassan Al-Haydos, creative playmaker Akram Afif, and prolific forward Almoez Ali expected to lead the charge. However, recent form raises concerns for the Asian side. Qatar have won only one of their last ten matches, scoring just 0.7 goals per game while failing to find the net in half of those outings.
Switzerland enter the tournament in far better shape. Led by captain Granit Xhaka and supported by attacking threats Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye, the Swiss have won six of their last ten matches and remain difficult to break down. They average 2.5 goals scored per game while conceding just 0.7, with six clean sheets recorded in their last ten outings. Switzerland's balanced squad and tournament experience could prove decisive in this opening fixture.
As Swiss head into their World Cup opener in considerably stronger form and possess greater quality across the pitch, Away Win seems like a sure bet. Additionally, Switzerland to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals markets seem tempting (Switzerland are defensively solid, while Qatar generally play in lower-scoring contests).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 13 June 2026 at 20:00.
