Switzerland vs Algeria LIVE streaming, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32
Can Murat Yakin’s predecessor, former Swiss gaffer Vladimir Petković, knock Switzerland out of the FIFA World Cup 2026?
BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, gears up to host the Round of 32 fixtures of the FIFA World Cup 2026, where European giants Switzerland and two-time African champions Algeria lock horns in what is set to be a thrilling contest.
Rossocrociati are coming after topping Group B with wins over Bosnia and hosts Canada. After a frustrating 1-1 draw with reigning Asian champions Qatar, Switzerland secured two back-to-back wins to occupy the top spot, unbeaten with seven points. Murat Yakin’s side has scored seven and have conceded thrice so far.
Ranked 19th in the latest FIFA rankings, the Alpine nation have failed to advance past the Round of 16 since 1954. They have an excellent squad boasting big names like Dortmund’s Kobel between the sticks, UCL-winning defender Akanji, captain Granit Xhaka of Sunderland, and their top scorer, Manzambi, up front.
Algeria’s qualification hopes were swinging like a pendulum in their last fixture against Ralf Rangnick’s Austria. Despite settling for a 3-3 draw, the Mediterranean nation qualified as one of the best third-ranked teams at FIFA World Cup 2026 after finishing behind Argentina and Austria in Group J.
After a horrific start, succumbing to a 3-0 defeat to Argentina after Messi’s hat-trick, the two-time AFCON champions defeated Jordan 2-1 before playing a six-goal thriller against Austria. They are led by Vladimir Petkovic, who has previously served as Switzerland’s coach for seven years.
The winner of this game will lock horns with either South American giants Colombia or African powerhouse Ghana in the Round of 16 clash on 7 July at the same venue.
