Why we called it
Switzerland finished top of Group B (7 goals scored, +4), beating hosts Canada 2-1, and are favourites but only narrowly (-118; Algeria +350 to win). Algeria have a fragile defence (6 goals conceded, 3-3 with Austria) but with Mahrez, already on 2 goals, remain dangerous: with both teams to score favoured, a 2-1 Switzerland single-goal margin respects both the expected edge and the open nature of the tie.
