FIFA World Cup Betting Preview: Qatar vs Switzerland

Qatar and Switzerland meet in this FIFA World Cup Group B clash at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium (Levi's Stadium), with kick-off set for 15:00 on Saturday 13 June.

Co-hosts Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina join Switzerland and Qatar in Group B. Switzerland are the clear favourites to top the group, with Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina expected to challenge for second place, while Qatar are expected to struggle.

Switzerland -1.75 is available at -114 on the Asian Handicap market. The bet pays out in full if the Swiss win by three or more goals, while a two-goal victory returns a half-win and a refund on the other half of the stake.

Switzerland possess far greater quality throughout their squad and have consistently shown they can score goals against stronger opposition than Qatar. With captain Granit Xhaka pulling the strings in midfield, we expect the Red Crosses to create plenty of chances and put the visitors under sustained pressure.

Qatar qualified for this World Cup on merit for the first time in their history, but we still regard them as one of the weaker teams in the tournament. They failed to pick up a point when hosting the 2022 World Cup and have struggled for results against modest opposition in recent years, including a defeat to Palestine and a draw with Syria in the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup. Given the gulf in quality between these sides, Switzerland look capable of covering this handicap.

Qatar secured their place at the World Cup by winning their fourth-round qualifying group. It marks the first time they have reached the tournament through qualification, having previously appeared only as hosts in 2022.

Their last competitive match was a 3-0 loss to Tunisia in the FIFA Arab Cup, a result that saw Qatar exit at the group stage.

In their two most recent friendlies, Qatar suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ireland in Dublin before playing out a goalless draw with El Salvador at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

Switzerland dominated their qualifying group, finishing top ahead of Kosovo, Slovenia and Sweden with a record of four wins and two draws.

Switzerland's last competitive match ended in a 1-1 draw away to Kosovo in World Cup qualifying. Murat Yakin's side enjoyed 53% possession and registered three shots on target, with Ruben Vargas getting on the scoresheet at Fadil Vokrri Stadium.

Switzerland have played four friendly matches in 2026. They lost 4-3 to Germany and drew 0-0 with Norway in March before stepping up their World Cup preparations with a 2-0 victory over Jordan at Kybunpark in St. Gallen and a 1-1 draw against Australia at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The only previous meeting between Switzerland and Qatar was a friendly in 2018, with Qatar emerging 1-0 winners in Lugano.
