South Africa vs Canada Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Canada
- Odds: -130 (Tonybet)
Even a draw against Switzerland in the Group B finale would have allowed the Canadian side to stay in Canada for the Round of 32, but they suffered a 2-1 defeat and finished second in the standings. However, their overall performances have been solid, and their 6-0 victory over Qatar is a good indication of what the Canucks can do against teams that struggle defensively.
Defensive frailties have been one of South Africa’s biggest concerns throughout the tournament. They allowed two goals against Mexico in the opener, came close to losing against the Czech Republic, and were lucky not to concede against South Korea. Their win in the group-stage finale and Mexico’s victory over the Czechs allowed Bafana Bafana to finish second in Group A.
Both teams finished the group stage with identical W1, D1, L1 records. While Canada failed to perform in their last match, South Africa are on a two-game undefeated run after their loss to Mexico in the opener. Still, the Canucks remain the better side and will benefit from strong support in the stands. They should take advantage of that to advance to the Round of 16.
South Africa vs Canada Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Jonathan David to score anytime
- Odds: +170 (Tonybet)
Jonathan David has failed to score in two of Canada’s three matches at this World Cup, but in the one game he was able to find the back of the net, he scored a hat-trick against Qatar.
David has been productive throughout his international career, averaging over 0.5 goals per game (42 in 80 caps). Against a South Africa team that allowed a 3.4 xGA during the group stage, expect David’s goalscoring ability to carry Canada into the Round of 16.
South Africa vs Canada Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Canada to win + Both teams not to score + Canada to get more corners
- Odds: +260 (Tonybet)
Our three-leg parlay favours Canada heavily. Not only are we backing them to win outright and secure a place in the Round of 16, but we also expect them to keep a clean sheet.
They managed that in their 6-0 win over Qatar, while South Africa looked rattled against a host nation in their opener against Mexico. Canada should be able to limit Bafana Bafana’s attack, which scored just two goals in three Group A matches, especially with potential returns of players such as Moise Bombito and Alphonso Davies.
We’re also backing Canada to get more corners than their opponents, which should be a direct consequence of them dominating possession throughout the game. The team won the corner battle in all three of their Group B matches, generating 35 corners in total.
South Africa vs Canada Team News
South Africa Team News
South Africa will be without Themba Zwane, who earned a three-game suspension following his red card in the opener against Mexico. However, Teboho Mokoena is back after he missed the win over South Korea due to yellow-card accumulation.
The biggest question surrounds the attack. Lyle Foster, arguably South Africa’s main star, hasn’t played in the last two matches. Since Bafana Bafana are unbeaten during that stretch, Foster is quite likely to remain on the bench here. Expect Evidence Makgopa to start in his place.
Canada Team News
Canada were without Davies and Bombito in the loss to Switzerland. Manager Jesse Marsch admitted he used Davies as a “decoy” in that match and that he’s not 100% fit. He’s likely to be among the substitutes for this Round of 32 clash, but his chances of playing are slim right now.
Stephen Eustaquio was rested in the team’s most recent outing but is expected to return to the lineup. However, his midfield partner Ismael Kone is set to miss the rest of the tournament with a leg injury, meaning Nathan Saliba should take his place in the lineup.
