Switzerland leads Qatar in market-implied probability

Polymarket assigns Switzerland an 80% market-implied win probability against Qatar. Polymarket prices Qatar at 6% to win the match outright. The implied draw sits near 14% on the same Polymarket contract. Polymarket recorded $77,300 in total market volume by June 9, 2026.

Switzerland drew Australia 1-1 in San Diego on June 7, 2026. Dan Ndoye scored that warm-up goal for Switzerland. Switzerland reached the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup. Qatar exited the 2022 group stage without a single win.

Prediction markets give Switzerland a 94% Group B advancement probability. Qatar holds a 22% advancement probability in the same prediction markets. Polymarket lists Switzerland as the 56% Group B title favorite. Canada sits second in that Group B title market.

Granit Xhaka captains Switzerland for a fourth consecutive World Cup appearance. Head coach Murat Yakin trusts defender Manuel Akanji and goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. Breel Embolo leads the Switzerland attack after overcoming earlier injury setbacks. Qatar leans on a domestic-based core from the Qatar Stars League.

Group B pairs Switzerland and Qatar with Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina. A Switzerland win would secure an early top-two foothold. Qatar needs points before facing co-host Canada on matchday two. A Qatar defeat would shrink the Qatar advancement probability further.

The market favors Switzerland heavily, leaving narrow room for line movement. Polymarket traders watch Qatar’s first-half resistance for any odds shift. An early Switzerland goal would likely raise the Switzerland implied probability. Lines.com tracks the Polymarket and Kalshi markets through kickoff.

Polymarket’s wider 2026 World Cup market ranks Switzerland among the second-tier contenders. Switzerland reached the Round of 16 at each of the last three World Cups. Qatar hosted the 2022 edition but holds no host status in 2026. A strong Switzerland opener would tighten the Group B advancement market further.
