LiontipsBelgium vs Canada. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 FIFA World Cup (November 24, 2022).
Command Analysis
Belguim national team confidently passed the World Cup qualifying rounds and finished on top of their group. After that, however, Roberto Martínez' side delivered a bleak performance in the Nations League. They lost to the Netherlands twice and drew against Wales.
The Red Devils have fantastic performers in the squad, but some Belgian stars can miss the World Cup (or the first games). Alexis Saelemaekers has just recovered from a serious injury and might not be fit enough. Romelu Lukaku probably won't feature in the early games, either.
Canada national team finished in first place in the North American qualification, beating such opponents as Mexico and the USA. Despite being a rare guest at World Cups, John Herdman's side deserves respect - it's well-balanced and demonstrates confident teamwork.
Most of Canada's players play in the national league, but some names are familiar to the European fans, for instance, Alphonso Davies, Atiba Hutchinson, and Stephen Eustaquio. Canada has a lot of potential and can become this World Cup's dark horse.

Tip and bets
Belguim are the favourites and will definitely play to win. Group F is quite tough, and to qualify comfortably, the Red Devils need to win the first game. However, Canada will surely put up a fight and try to progress to the last 16 - they have a good team and are on top form. We will be backing the underdogs in this match.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Canada
The North Americans are well-prepared and eager to prove themselves. The players understand each other perfectly and can create problems for all their opponents in Group F. The Belgians will probably be more active on offense, but we are not convinced their top performers are in good shape. We will take a risk and bet on a draw.
Second bet - draw
