Group B Teams
Back to All Groups →Qatar
Qatar bring recent World Cup experience and a group-stage style that often leans on compact defending and controlled phases of possession. They are capable of slowing matches down and forcing narrow scorelines.
Switzerland
Switzerland remain one of the more dependable tournament teams in Europe and rarely give away easy matches. Their Group B route looks strongest when they keep the shape compact and manage key moments cleanly.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina add size, directness, and set-piece threat to Group B. They may enter as an outside pick in some forecasts, but they have enough individual quality to change the section quickly.
