Qatar meet Bosnia and Herzegovina after the two sides suffered big losses in matchday two, but with everything to play for in their final group game. Both sides stand a chance of making the knockout stages, and that should make this a fascinating spectacle. Qatar will be looking to salvage pride after the 6-0 hiding they suffered against Canada as well make history (they've never won a World Cup game) while Bosnia and Herzegovina will want to forget their late collapse which saw one point become zero against Switzerland.
Here's everything you need to know about the game.

Talking Point
What is the qualification scenario like?
Here's how Group B stands after Matchday 2
Canada: 4 points (+6 GD)
Switzerland: 4 points (+3 GD)
Bosnia and Herzegovina: 1 point (-3 GD)
Qatar: 1 point (-6 GD)
With Canada and Switzerland playing each other at the same time, the door is open for Bosnia and Herzegovina. They can finish either second (if Canada lose and Bosnia can catch up on the massive goal difference) or third (the much more likely scenario) with a win against Qatar and give themselves a real chance to be among the eight best third-placed finishers.
Qatar, meanwhile, have the exact same chance except they need to win, and have Switzerland lose to stand the (very) remote chance of taking second. A third-place finish, though, is still very much on the cards.
Where Bosnia and Herzegovina will lean on the experience of Edin Dzeko to take them through, Qatar will need their own veteran Akram Afif to stand up, and if given a chance their record goalscorer Almoez Ali.
