Why: Group B is level after four opening draws. Switzerland are safer, but Bosnia have enough to keep this close.
Game state: Switzerland v Bosnia & Herzegovina
Canada 2-1 QatarRound 2
Why: Canada’s draw leaves this as a push game. Qatar can score, but Canada have the stronger attacking ceiling.

Why: Both arrive on three points. Mexico are solid at home, Korea carry real counter threat: good draw spot.
Game state: Mexico v Korea Republic
Brazil 2-0 HaitiRound 2
Why: Brazil need a clean correction after drawing Morocco. Haiti were competitive, but this is a bad matchup for them.
Game state: Brazil v Haiti
Scotland 1-1 MoroccoRound 2
Why: Scotland already have three points; Morocco held Brazil. Expect control-first football and no need to overreach.
Game state: Scotland v Morocco
Türkiye 2-1 ParaguayRound 2
Why: Both need a response. Paraguay were opened up by the USA; Türkiye have the cleaner bounce-back angle.
Game state: Türkiye v Paraguay

Why: The USA started strongly, Australia started efficiently. Home edge and attacking form just tilt it to the USA.
Game state: USA v Australia
Germany 2-1 Côte d'IvoireRound 2
Why: Germany’s opener was explosive, but Côte d’Ivoire also have three points. Germany win, not a walkover.

Why: Curaçao conceded seven first time out. Ecuador need points and should be more direct here.
Game state: Ecuador v Curaçao

Why: Sweden’s 5-1 opener demands respect. Netherlands still have enough quality, so this is more shootout than banker.
Game state: Netherlands v Sweden

Why: Both opened with draws. Belgium have the name value, Iran have enough structure to make it awkward.
Game state: Belgium v IR Iran
New Zealand 1-2 EgyptRound 2
Why: New Zealand’s draw matters, but Egypt’s attacking profile is still the better route to three points.

Why: Croatia are the cleaner exact-score shape here: controlled win, likely not chaos.
