South Africa vs Canada Best Bets

Under 2.5 goals — 4/6 - None of Bafana Bafana's group-stage games featured more than two goals and Canada have managed just two strikes at the tournament outside their win over a depleted Qatar, pointing towards a low-scoring affair.

South Africa or draw double chance — 6/5 - Canada's sole win in Group B came against nine-man Qatar and South Africa's improved defensive shape and squad togetherness make them overpriced for this California clash.

South Africa vs Canada Bet Builder Player Picks

Nathan Saliba over 1.5 fouls — EVS - The young Canuck has averaged 1.43 fouls per 90 minutes this summer and will have his hands full against an energetic South Africa midfield.

Teboho Mokoena to register an assist — 15/2 - The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder has created six chances in two games at the finals and will be raring to go after missing the last group game through suspension.

Khuliso Mudau to be shown a card — 12/5 - Canada have some big threats on the left and Mudau, who was booked eight times in 21 league games this term, will be kept busy.

Alistair Johnston over 0.5 shots on target — 18/5 - The right-back has recorded two shots on target in three games and should get chances against a South African side who will be happy to sit deep.

Thapelo Maseko over 1.5 shots — 3/5 - South Africa's goalscorer against South Korea is averaging 4.59 shots per 90 minutes at the World Cup.
