LiontipsSouth Africa vs Canada: betting tip (cf 1.72) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The national team created the first real sensation at the World Cup. The Africans entered the playoffs from the second place of their quartet. It is worth noting that the team has 16 players representing the local championship, where they play for the Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns - more than any other national team at the World Cup.
In the opening match of the world championship, the South Africans faced the Mexicans. The match with three red cards, two of which were yellow and green, ended with the first defeat of the tournament (0:2). In the second round, Hugo Bross's team could not lose in any case, and the team coped with this. With the Czechs, the South African team lost 0:1 until the 83rd minute and by chance earned a penalty, which was converted by Teboho Mokoene - 1:1. But in the final round, the representative of Africa beat South Korea. At the start, the national team fought back, but then proved itself in attack and achieved their goal in the 63rd minute. The Koreans failed, Maseko received the ball in the penalty area, shifted slightly to the center and shot into the near corner — 1:0. Everything is natural, the goal went out of the logic of the game. Now let's see how the national team will act in the playoffs.

Current form
Canada has participated in the World Championships only twice in its history, and both times it did not get out of the group. But at the home World Cup, she won the first victory in the history of the world championships and immediately reached the playoffs. The current generation of Canadians represents clubs such as Bayern Munich, Juventus and Villarreal, whose experience helped the Reds reach the playoffs.
The opening match with Bosnia and Herzegovina ended in a 1-1 goalless draw, where Kyle Larin, an experienced veteran of the national team, came on as a substitute at the end of the second half, equalized the score and helped the team earn the first points of the tournament. Next, the Maple Leafs did not stand on ceremony with Qatar and inflicted a crushing defeat on the maroon 6:0. Jonathan David scored a hat-trick in this match. But in the final round against Switzerland, Jesse Marsh's team suffered their first defeat at the tournament. The first half was boring and ended in a goalless draw. But 10 minutes after the start of the second half, the Canadians were already on fire.:2. True, they pressed, but they were able to win back only one goal – 1:2 in the end. In fact, it didn't change anything. The hosts of the tournament completed their main task and went to the World Championship playoffs.
It is worth noting that the most famous player of the Reds is ready for the match with South Africa. Alfonso Davies from Bayern Munich has recovered from his injury, but Jesse Marsh says he won't be in the starting lineup.

Tip and bets
At the tournament in North America, the South African national team made a sensation and reached the 1/16 finals. The Africans improved from match to match and achieved their goal. Head coach Hugo Brosa still relies on the defensive game, but now it is no longer as passable as at the start of the world championship, and the yellow-greens have stopped looking like outsiders. The problem with the guys is that they score very little – two goals in three meetings. The lack of bright stars is reflected here, but there is teamwork - the backbone of the team is assembled from local clubs.
Canada did not pass the group stage without problems - a draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina, a defeat of Qatar and a defeat by Switzerland. Head coach Jesse Marsh instilled in his players the ability to keep high pressure, as well as extreme intensity. There is good news: key midfielder Steven Eustakiu is returning to action, Bayern's lateral Alfonso Davis is ready to play. The Maple Leafs have the task of playing the 1/16 finals with the South Africans to control the ball and constantly press the opponent, which should be a serious test for the South African defense, which, despite progress during the tournament, simply is not accustomed to such a high pace. We recommend that you pay attention to the decent odds from the bookmakers for a clean win for Canada.
Betting Tip – Canada wins with a coefficient of 1.72
Bet on the total
We expect that there will be few goals in the match. Canadians very often play with opponents on a low total, and it's worth a lot to open up in a match. In the last seven out of ten games involving the Reds, no more than two goals have been scored. At the same time, the Africans are not very good at attacking and scored only two goals in the tournament. We believe that Canada will confidently play defense, and the Maple Leafs themselves will not be able to break through the main total alone in the first match of the playoffs.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.65
A bet on yellow cards
In our opinion, the match will not be rough and it is worth counting on more than three yellow cards. The referees on average show 1.6 mustard plasters of the Canadian national team at the tournament, and the South African referees issued the same number of warnings.
The betting tip is that the total number of yellow cards is less than 3.5 with a coefficient of 1.95
