Summary
Opta Analyst released a match-centre stats page for Switzerland vs Algeria at BC Place Vancouver, covering the 2026 World Cup round-of-32 tie with expected goals, passing networks and player data.
The pre-match package highlights a first competitive meeting between the sides, though Switzerland won both previous friendlies against Algeria — 2-1 in 1983 and 2-0 in 1986.
Switzerland enter on two straight World Cup wins over Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canada, and a victory would give them 3 in a row for the first time.
Algeria arrive without a World Cup win in 9 matches against European teams — drawing 4 and losing 5 — since beating West Germany 2-1 in 1982.
