Switzerland face Colombia in Vancouver, Canada, with the winner securing the last quarter-final berth in the 2026 World Cup. Kick-off is at 9pm BST.
Match context
Switzerland aim to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in 72 years. After an underwhelming draw with Qatar, they recorded convincing wins over Bosnia, Canada, and Algeria.
Colombia have been one of the tournament's surprise packages, conceding only once so far. Led by Bayern Munich's Luis Diaz and backed by passionate supporters, they beat Ghana 1-0 in the last round after holding Portugal to a goalless draw.
According to Standard Sport's match blog, the winner will face either Argentina or Egypt in the quarter-finals, with that match ongoing in Atlanta.
Team news and lineups
Both sides are expected to field strong lineups. Switzerland rely on their solid defence, while Colombia look to Diaz for attacking threat. Official lineups will be confirmed closer to kick-off.
Prediction and analysis
Switzerland enter as favourites due to their recent form, but Colombia's defensive resilience makes them a tough opponent. The match promises to be a closely contested battle for a place in the last eight.
