FIFA World Cup Betting Picks for June 24: Canada looking to clinch Group B

It’s Matchday 3 at the FIFA World Cup as teams fight to clinch groups and stay alive in the tournament.

We’re focusing on three key matchups on Wednesday, starting with co-host Canada, who have never reached the knockout round, as they aim to clinch Group B against Switzerland. Like Canada, Scotland will also look to book their first appearance in the knockout round against heavyweight Brazil, while fellow co-host Mexico has a chance to go 3-0-0 when they face Czechia.

Let’s get into it with our betting picks and parlay plays for Wednesday, June 24.

Switzerland vs. Canada – Group B

Location: BC Place, Vancouver, BC

Time: 3 p.m. ET, June 24, 2026

How to watch in Canada: TSN, TSN+, CTV, Crave

Canada and Switzerland each cruised to blowout victories on Matchday 2, setting up a tight race to clinch Group B. From Canada’s perspective, they’ll take the group with a win or a draw on Wednesday, while the Swiss need to win to finish first.

These are two of the highest scoring teams in the tournament, so I expect them both to find the back of the net on Wednesday. Canada’s Jonathan David is tied for the fourth-most shots in the tournament with 11 (seven on target) and Switzerland’s Dan Ndoye is close behind at 10 (four on target).

Switzerland vs. Canada betting pick: Draw (+220)

Parlay play: Draw + Jonathan David 3+ shots + Dan Ndoye 2+ shots (+425)

Scotland vs. Brazil – Group C

Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida

Time: 6 p.m. ET, June 24, 2026

How to watch in Canada: TSN, TSN+

Scotland has a chance to make history by booking their first ticket to the knockout round at the World Cup. It won’t be easy for the Tartan Army, however, as they go up against South American giants Brazil, who are looking for their first World Cup title since 2002.

Brazil will be without Raphinha after he suffered an thigh injury against Haiti that could end his tournament. With Raphinha out, Matheus Cunha and Igor Thiago will lead the way in a game Brazil should control and win by multiple goals.

Scotland vs. Brazil betting pick: Matheus Cunha anytime goal (+155)

Parlay play: Matheus Cunha anytime goal + Igor Thiago anytime goal + Brazil -2 (+475)

Czechia vs. Mexico – Group A

Location: Estadio Azteca, Mexico City, Mexico

Time: 9 p.m. ET, June 24, 2026

How to watch in Canada: TSN, TSN+

Tournament co-host Mexico hasn’t faced any resistance yet and they’ve already won Group A, guaranteeing them a June 30 date with the third-place team from Groups C, E, F, H, or I. As El Tricolor aims for the top overall seed, Czechia is desperate for a win to stay alive after suffering a costly 1-1 draw last time out against South Africa.

Czechia’s best bet is to overwhelm Mexico’s back-four with numbers and get the ball to Patrik Schick, a proven finisher in the Bundesliga.

Czechia vs. Mexico betting pick: Patrik Schick anytime goal (+240)

Parlay play: Patrik Schick anytime goal + both teams to score (+350)
