LiontipsCanada - Qatar: betting tip (cf 1.85) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
For Canada, this World Championship was the third in its history, and in the previous two, the national team suffered six defeats in six matches. Thus, for the first time in seven games in the history of the World Championships, the team did not lose. Bosnia and Herzegovina opened the scoring in the 21st minute of the match, started playing for the result and gave possession to the Canadians. Head coach Jesse Marsh understood that something needed to be changed urgently, and he decided to release experienced Maple Leafs veteran Kyle Larin in the 76th minute. It was the 91st match for the national team for the striker, and just two minutes after entering the field, the striker equalized the score. There were hopes of winning, but the Bosnians showed that even without a top-class squad, they can squeeze results as an underdog. The match ended in a 1-1 goalless draw.
It should be noted that the most famous player of the Reds was not included in the starting lineup. I'm talking about Alfonso Davis from Bayern Munich. The lateral is healing an injury sustained in the spring during the club season.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Flores will miss the game, and Davis' return to the field remains questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The Maple Leafs have drawn six of their last ten matches.
- Canada has earned an average of two yellow cards in the past five games.
The provisional squad consists of Crepe–Johnston, De Fougerolles, Cornelius, Laryi – Ahmed, Eustakiu, Koné, Millar – David, Larin.
Current form
The national team scored points at the World Championships for the first time. This is the second tournament for the team after the home World Cup in 2022. For sure, many expected Switzerland to easily deal with Qatar, but the maroon ones stood up and created the first sensation at the world championship. In the 17th minute, the European team converted a penalty and dominated the entire game. Julian Lopetegui's men didn't know what to do, and it wasn't until the 90th minute that they hit the goal for the first time in the second half. There was an own goal in the end. That's how the Qataris pulled out a draw, losing to the Crusaders by several times in terms of the main statistical indicators: shots – 7:26 (on target – 4:7) and xG – 0.76 against 3.25.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the national team.
Interesting betting trends
- Qatar has conceded at least one goal in eight of the last ten matches.
- In the last five games, the Maroons have earned an average of one yellow card.
Approximate line–up: Abounada - Al-Ui, Pedro Miguel, Houhi, Al-Amin – Gaber, Fathi, Al-Haydos – Edmilson Junior, Ali, Afif.
Trends
The bet is an accurate score of 2:0
In 3 of the last 7 meetings, the Maple Leafs won with a "dry" score
The bet of the 1st half: Canada's victory
Qatar lost in the first half in 3 of the last 5 matches
Bet 2nd half: total less than 1.5 goals
In 3 of the past 5 Maroon games, fewer than two goals were scored in the second half.
Tip and bets
Despite the fact that Qatar pulled out a draw against Switzerland, it probably won't be possible to earn points and score in the second round today. The recent results of the Asian national team are completely unimpressive – four defeats and three world outcomes in seven matches.
The Maple Leafs coaching staff, led by Marsh, has worked on the mistakes, and after the goalless draw with the Bosnians, the players will strive even more to win. The Canadians look much more powerful than the maroon ones in the game - nine games in a row without defeats. We also note that the Reds play in a disciplined manner, trying to keep the defensive line relatively high and pressuring. Taking into account the advantage of our field and the support of the stands, we will bet on a confident victory for the Canadians.
The betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Canada with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the total
The Canadians are one of the favorites of their group in the fight for a place in the playoffs and will take the game into their own hands from the first minutes of the meeting. The Maple Leafs have been playing confidently lately, they haven't conceded many goals, and they very often finish games with a low total – no more than two goals have been scored in nine of the last ten games. Also, it is not always possible to score a lot in Qatar matches, and five of the past six maroon matches ended with a total less.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.10
Betting on corners
Canada has a set-up to play number one and will dictate its rules to Qatar. Marsh's players intend to press and put pressure on the opponent's goal, which will lead to a large number of serves from the corner of the field. In the last five games, the Maple Leafs have won by at least three corners, which is what we expect from them today.
Betting Tip – Canada wins on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.62
