World Cup Predictions Today: Canada vs. Qatar

Canada Moneyline (-370)

Both teams enter Matchday 2 with one point after opening draws. Canada salvaged a 1-1 result against Bosnia and Herzegovina thanks to a late goal from Cyle Larin, while Qatar earned a respectable 1-1 draw against Switzerland. With all four teams level on points in Group B, the winner here will take a major step toward the Round of 32.

Canada was arguably the better side against Bosnia and created enough chances to earn all three points. Playing at home again, this time in Vancouver, Jesse Marsch's squad should benefit from another strong crowd and has a clear talent advantage led by Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies.

Qatar deserves credit for its result against Switzerland, but Canada is the more dynamic side and should dictate the match.

The -370 odds are up there, so this bet may fit best as a parlay inclusion.

Jonathan David Anytime Goalscorer (+115)

David remains Canada's most dangerous attacking player and focal point in the final third. He generated opportunities in the opener and should see plenty of touches around the penalty area against a Qatar side expected to spend significant time defending.

In a match where Canada could create several top-tier chances, David's plus-money goal odds are appealing.
