Jonathan David was irresistible against Qatar and arrives in red-hot form after scoring a hat-trick in Canada's 6-0 triumph. David bagged an Attacking Influence score of 7.4 in that match and Switzerland's defence will need to keep a close eye on his movement inside the penalty area.

Cyle Larin is another player capable of making the difference. The experienced forward opened the scoring against Qatar and scored 6.1 for his own Attacking Influence in that game.

For Switzerland, Breel Embolo remains their biggest attacking threat. The striker was instrumental in the 4-1 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, scoring 6.4 for his Creativity Influence in the match.

Midfielder Granit Xhaka will also be key. The veteran playmaker continues to dictate the tempo for Switzerland and his leadership could prove crucial in a match that may decide the Group B winner.
