Switzerland's path to the Round of 32

Switzerland were impressive in the group stages, finishing with a total of seven points at the top of Group B. Murat Yakin's squad started the competition with a big win over Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-1), they followed that up with a 1-1 draw against Qatar and finished off with a 2-1 victory over the Canadian side in Vancouver, the same venue they will compete in during this tie.

A team that has been at every World Cup knockout stage in recent years and also got all the way to the semi-finals at Euro 2020, this Nati outfit are one of the tournament's standouts, with a team that knows how to grind out results, particularly when needed. The captain of the Nati is the world-class Granit Xhaka and it has been said that Switzerland's best defence is at times anchored by the experienced defender, Manuel Akanji. Switzerland are the more favored team in this fixture heading into the tie and will look to continue their excellent campaign into the round of 16.

Algeria's path to the Round of 32

Algeria qualified for the knockout stage by one of the most exciting ways as one of the better third-place teams from Group J. Vladimir Petković's squad started off their campaign with a loss to the tournament's champions Argentina (3-0), then they managed to rebound from that result and defeat Jordan 2-1. They finished in third place with the aid of a remarkable draw against the Austrians, in which Mahrez scored twice to seal the tie at 3-3. This is a World Cup milestone for Algeria, a team that hasn't played in the final tournament since their best ever showing, the 2014 edition, where they made it to the Round of 16 and took Germany into extra time. One subplot for this encounter is on the sideline, because Algeria manager Vladimir Petković spent seven years in charge of Switzerland, including taking them out to the 2018 World Cup, so he knows the ins and outs of the Swiss setup going up against him. With Mahrez in form, Les Fennecs head to Vancouver in high spirits.

Switzerland vs Algeria Head-to-Head

Switzerland and Algeria aren't regular rivals, and there's not much recent competitive history between them for the two teams to look back on. But the storyline surrounding this fixture more than makes up for that: Algeria manager Vladimir Petković spent seven years at the helm of the Nati, meaning few managers across the game know more about Switzerland than the man on the opposite touchline.

The added layer of complexity certainly makes this contest intriguing. Switzerland are the more settled and probably slightly superior side, but Algeria still have the quality and experience to match up and a manager who will know what they can expect in every area of the park. This has all the hallmarks of a tight knockout match where both sides are capable of digging in for a result, and it may not be decided until the final stages or on penalties.

Players to Watch

Switzerland's stand-out figure is likely Granit Xhaka. The captain and experienced midfielder is one of Switzerland's most respected performers and will be tasked with controlling the tempo and setting the tone. For the hosts, Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji looks to offer composure and class, while up front the goal threat posed by the burly Breel Embolo will be important, with Dan Ndoye in good form and able to trouble opposing full-backs with the pace and directness to go around. It is a balanced, cohesive outfit with quality in every area.

In contrast, Algeria's hopes rest in the hands of Riyad Mahrez. The skipper and talisman, a former Premier League winner, still remains an individual who can change games through his quality, and with this being what will likely be his final World Cup he'll hope to leave with a memorable performance. He's supported by an explosive Mohamed Amoura, who came good for Algeria in the qualifying phase, with creative influence from Houssem Aouar and solidity at the back from Ramy Bensebaïni giving Les Fennecs plenty of firepower.

Why Watch Switzerland vs Algeria at BC Place

Switzerland vs Algeria: The Cost of a Seat

Cost of Round of 32 tickets for the Switzerland vs Algeria match will be affected by several variables, most notably seat category, general demand and how far out it is from kick-off.
