South Africa Team News & Stats
As time went by, South Africa’s form improved. They had an awful opening to the World Cup, but after that, they played to a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic, a game they could have won, before winning 1-0 over South Korea.
This was their first triumph after 7 consecutive matches and their first clean sheet in 11 games. Also, right now, Bafana has 5 straight with under 2.5 hits.
Likely Lineup: Williams; Mudau, Okon, Mbokazi, Modiba; Mbatha, Sithole, Adams; Maseko, Appollis, Rayners
Canada Team News & Stats
Les Rouges had a tough reality check against Switzerland. They lost 2-1 and ended up second in the group, though that doesn’t look bad overall for the Canadian unit.
That match against the Swiss team was the first defeat after 10 consecutive matches, though there were plenty of ties along the way, and Canada didn’t look very confident during that stretch.
Likely Lineup: Crepeau; Johnston, Bombito, Sigur, Laryea; Buchanan, Eustaquio, Saliba, Ahmed; David, Larin
Head to Head
In 2007, there was a friendly between the two sides, with South Africa triumphing 2-0.
South Africa vs. Canada World Cup Predictions
Neither team is in particularly great shape, and they don’t have a particularly fluid game. They are physical and, to be honest, lack creativity, which is why our pick here is under 2.5 goals. That, and the fact that this is an elimination game, are the main reasons for such a bet.
