Both Qatar and Bosnia and Herzegovina will have opportunities to qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament.
What Is at Stake?
Given the group’s competitiveness, results will likely come down to every point. The top two teams in Group B will qualify directly to the round of 32. There is a possibility of 3rd-placed team in Group B may also qualify.
Group B has the potential for a lot of full-scale drama during the group stage. Canada, as the host country, has the advantage of playing at home.
