South Africa host Canada in the World Cup 2026 on 28 June 2026, Sunday. Get our free predictions, betting tips, odds insights, team form guide & H2H stats for this clash. This fixture is scheduled to kicks off at 20:00 UK Time.
South Africa and Canada meet at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on Sunday June 28 in the first Round of 32 match of the 2026 World Cup – the first knockout game in the history of both nations.
South Africa reached this stage by stunning South Korea 1-0 in Monterrey, with Thapelo Maseko scoring from their only shot on target.
Canada finished second in Group B after losing to Switzerland, giving them just three days to recover.
Bafana Bafana have been one of the stories of this tournament but their margin for error has been razor-thin in every game. Teboho Mokoena returns from suspension, but Themba Zwane remains banned for the third consecutive match. But South Africa go into the knockouts without their most creative player.
Canada finally have Alphonso Davies and Marsch confirmed the Bayern Munich captain was used as a decoy against Switzerland and will start on Sunday.
Davies has not played a single minute of this World Cup and his return at left back gives Canada an attacking dimension South Africa have not faced in this tournament.
Jonathan David scored a hat-trick against Qatar and carries the goal threat, with no suspension concerns and a fully available squad.
The best bet for this match is Canada to win to nil for 2.62 odds. South Africa will be organised and disciplined but lack the creative outlet to hurt a Canada side that has kept things tight throughout the group stage.
The Under 2.5 goals at 1.72 odds is also a solid option since Ronwen Williams has been outstanding in goal for Bafana Bafana and they have played out three consecutive matches with fewer than 3 goals total. At the same time, Maxime Crepeau is equally dependable for Canada and they do not concede a lot of goals.
Since both sides are built to be hard to beat, our Correct Score Prediction is Canada 1-0 at 6.00 odds, one goal settling a tight, well-organised contest that sends the co-hosts into the Round of 16 for the first time in their history.
