Canada have conceded more than one goal in just one of their last 17 international matches, while ten of their last eleven games finished with under 2.5 goals.

Their opening World Cup match against Bosnia & Herzegovina ended 1-1, while recent fixtures against Ireland, Tunisia, Colombia and Ecuador also failed to produce more than two goals.

Qatar’s recent matches have followed a similar pattern.

Five of their last six matches finished under 2.5 goals, including a 1-1 draw against Switzerland in their opening World Cup fixture and a goalless draw against El Salvador.

Many of Qatar’s recent matches have been decided by fine margins, with eight of their last nine games ending with a one-goal difference or less.

Canada won the most recent meeting between these nations 2-0 back in 2022, but recent form suggests a much tighter contest this time around.

Recent results from both teams point towards a low-scoring game, which makes the under 2.5 line difficult to ignore.
