Editorial Pick

Marco Rossi's Group B Bet

MR
Marco Rossi
European Football Editor

Switzerland looks undervalued at 1.70 to top the group. Yakin's side topped UEFA qualifying with the best defensive record (just 4 conceded in 10 matches). Canada's attacking talent grabs headlines but their backline conceded 12 in CONCACAF qualifying. The Swiss are a smarter price than the implied probability suggests.
