(Vancouver)
Switzerland vs Colombia stats frame a World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match at BC Place Vancouver, where the Switzerland national football team face the Colombia national football team on 7 July 2026.

The match is scheduled for 4:00 PM ET at BC Place in Vancouver, which is 20:00 UTC on 7 July.

Full match stats should replace these pre-match averages after the official event feed closes.
Switzerland vs Colombia Stats – Match Statistics Overview
Switzerland enter with 2.3 goals per game, 2.1 xG, 14.0 shots, 64% average possession, and 10.0 chances created per game in FOX’s public matchup data. Those numbers show a team that has generated fewer shots than Colombia but better chance quality. Switzerland’s 2-0 Round of 32 win over Algeria also gave their defence a clean knockout result before this tie.
Colombia enter with 1.3 goals per game, 1.5 xG, 20.3 shots, 69% average possession, and 13.0 chances created per game. Their volume profile is strong because Luis Diaz and Daniel Munoz give them output from wide and right-sided lanes. Colombia’s defensive number is the clearest edge, since FOX lists only 0.3 goals against per game.
Switzerland vs Colombia Stats Snapshot
The snapshot uses verified public pre-match data because the official live-event feed has not opened yet. Switzerland lead in goals per game and expected goals, while Colombia lead in shots, possession, chances created, clean sheets, and goals against. That split makes finishing efficiency the core number before kickoff.

Attacking Stats Comparison
Switzerland have the stronger scoring efficiency before kickoff. FOX lists them at 2.3 goals per game from 14.0 shots, which creates a 16% shot conversion marker. Breel Embolo also gives Switzerland their clearest individual xG leader with 2.4 in the public player data.
Colombia create more attempts but convert fewer of them. Their 20.3 shots per game and 13.0 chances created per game show pressure, yet the 1.3 goals average leaves room for waste. Luis Diaz carries Colombia’s strongest attacking player profile with six shots on goal, 1.0 xG, and one player-of-the-match marker.

Defensive Stats Comparison
Colombia have the sharper defensive number. FOX lists them at 0.3 goals against per game, and Camilo Vargas leads their goalkeeper section with three clean sheets. That record matters because Switzerland have converted chances at a stronger rate than their shot volume suggests.
Switzerland still have a stable defensive base through Manuel Akanji and Gregor Kobel. Akanji leads Switzerland’s FOX rating marker at 7.1, while Kobel carries a 33 keeper-save marker and one clean sheet. The full defensive event data remains unresolved until the live match feed opens.

Passing and Possession Analysis
Colombia carry a small possession edge before kickoff. FOX lists Colombia at 69% average possession and Switzerland at 64%, while the card normalizes those rounded values to a 52-48 Colombian visual split. Colombia also lead the chance-creation average, so their passing has produced territory and attempts.
Switzerland can still control the most valuable spaces if they keep Embolo and Manzambi connected. Their xG average sits higher than Colombia’s, even with fewer shots. That tells readers Switzerland have made better use of the chances they create.
| Passing Stat | Switzerland | Colombia |

Key Player Statistics
Switzerland’s key data starts with Johan Manzambi and Breel Embolo. Manzambi leads the Swiss goals marker with three, while Embolo leads assists, shots on goal, and xG among the FOX player leaders. Akanji and Kobel give Switzerland two defensive reference points if Colombia push the tempo.
Colombia’s leaders split across the right side, left wing, and goal. Daniel Munoz leads their goals marker with two, Luis Diaz leads assists, shots on goal, xG, and player-of-the-match markers, and Vargas leads the clean-sheet count. Colombia need Diaz to turn shot volume into clearer chances near the box.
| Player | Team | Key Data |
|---|---|---|
| Johan Manzambi | Switzerland | 3 goals in FOX leaders |
| Breel Embolo | Switzerland | 2 assists, 6 shots on goal, 2.4 xG |
| Gregor Kobel | Switzerland | 33% keeper-save marker, 1 clean sheet |
| Daniel Munoz | Colombia | 2 goals in FOX leaders |
| Luis Diaz | Colombia | 1 assist, 6 shots on goal, 1.0 xG |
| Camilo Vargas | Colombia | 9% keeper-save marker, 3 clean sheets |
Expected Goals Analysis
The xG comparison gives Switzerland a clear chance-quality edge. FOX lists Switzerland at 2.1 xG per game and Colombia at 1.5 xG per game. Switzerland’s advantage grows because Embolo has 2.4 individual xG in the public player leaders.
Colombia’s xG case depends on volume and repeat pressure. Their shot total is much higher, yet their conversion rate sits lower. The full-time update should separate open-play xG, set-piece xG, blocked attempts, goalkeeper saves, and shot locations.
