Canada vs. Qatar World Cup Preview
The hosts are in a must-win situation, while Qatar enters this event with high morale. The previous World Cup hosts took a point with a stoppage-time equalizer against Switzerland in the previous round, and now hope for another sensation.

Canada Stats & Team News
Les Rouges have gone without a loss over the last 9 games, but they have only one win in the previous 5, with 4 matches ending in a tie. Bosnia, and they played 1-1 in the first game, which was somewhat unexpected.
Alphonso Davies is still questionable, and that’s a huge problem for the Canadian side. They lack speed and power on the flank, and without their best player on the field, the hosts aren’t that confident.
Likely Lineup:
(4-4-2): Crepeau; Johnston, de Fougerolles, Cornelius, Laryea; Buchanan, Eustaquio, Kone, Millar; David, Larin
Qatar Stats & Team News
This team has gone without a win in the last 7 games, but their most recent tie vs. Switzerland, 1-1, was like a triumph. Qatar took a point with Miro Muheim hitting the back of his own net, bringing massive joy to Julen Lopetegui’s side.
This team struggles with scoring, and Qatar failed to deliver in 4 of 5 meetings played before the game against Switzerland. And even in that one, the goal came from the opposite side.
Likely Lineup:
(4-3-3) Abunada; Al-Oui, Khoukhi, Pedro Miguel, Ahmed; Laye, MAdibo, Gaber; Abdurisag, Afif, Edmilson
Head to Head Stats
In 2022, the two sides played a friendly that ended in Canada’s 2-0 triumph.
Canada vs. Qatar World Cup Picks
With or without Davies, this is a game that Canada needs to win. We do respect Qatar, but to be honest, they had luck against the Swiss team, and we don’t believe that would happen again. Especially with Les Rouges having an imperative to take three points.
