Canada may be eliminated from progressing to the next round of the World Cup, but the Canadians can play spoiler on Thursday at the Al Thumama Stadium. 

The Canucks have been fun to watch in the World Cup, yet a lack of concentration has cost them. A 1-0 loss to Belgium was followed by a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Croatia. 

Morocco are second in Group F and have progression to the round of 16 in their sights. A win for Morocco will send them into the next phase. A draw could also send Morocco into the round of 16 regardless of the result between Croatia and Belgium.

A loss to Canada could also see Morocco qualify for the round of 16. However, they would need Belgium to fail to defeat Croatia. In three all-time meetings, Canada have never defeated Morocco. The Atlas Lions have a record of 2W-1D-0L. 

Sportsbooks’ best betting odds on Canada winning at full-time are 5/2. Morocco are at odds of 11/10 to win, while a draw is at the best betting odds of 12/5. Let’s explore some ideas for a bet builder for the World Cup fixture.

Canada vs Morocco Bet Builder

Don't miss our 5/1 Canada vs Morocco bet builder tips and predictions for Thursday's Group F fixture that could see you win £50 from just a £10 stake on this five-selection bet.

First-half result: Draw

singleSelection

Morocco were drawing at halftime on matchday No 1 and No 2. Canada were losing at halftime in both of their group games. Belgium and Croatia are the strongest teams in Group F, which means Canada and Morocco should be closely matched. Of course, Morocco defeated Belgium, but the Belgians were off their game. 

Of the opening 36 games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, 50% of the matches went into halftime as draws. The number drops to 25% at full-time, which shows teams are working hard to keep matches tight in the first half. 

Our betting tips prediction is for Canada and Morocco to draw the first half of the game. The second half could be wider open as Morocco desperately need to get a result to progress to the next round. Morocco played in four previous World Cup tournaments and reached the last 16 just once. 

Total corners for Canada: Over 1.5

Canada should have chances to score goals against Morocco. The Atlas Lions will be desperate to get a result at full-time. Their desperation could give Canada the chance to open up the game. 

The Canadians have played well at the tournament despite losing both matches. Canada’s issues have been defensive along with tiring out after applying so much pressure. 

Canada tallied two total corners against Croatia on matchday No 2. Meanwhile, Morocco conceded nine corners to Belgium despite winning 2-0. 

Our betting tips prediction is for Canada to tally over 1.5 corners in the game. The Canadians should continue to play attacking football despite being eliminated from qualification to the round of 16. 

Total goals in the first half: Under 2.5 goals 

singleSelection

Twenty-eight of the opening 36 games in the FIFA World Cup went into the halftime break with under 2.5 goals scored. Canada should hold Morocco to a low-scoring half, as the match enters the break with under 2.5 goals. 

Canada’s opening match versus Belgium went into the halftime break 1-0. Morocco’s opener against Croatia was nil-nil at halftime. The Atlas Lions also went into halftime with Belgium locked nil-nil. 

Our betting tips prediction is for Canada and Morocco to go into halftime with under 2.5 goals scored. The World Cup has had 64% of matches end with under 2.5 goals scored. The number jumps up when considering just the first half of matches. 

Morocco are built on defence. Their last six games in all competitions went into the halftime break with under 2.5 goals. Seven of Canada’s last eight games had under 2.5 goals in the first half. 

Most goals to be scored in the second half 

singleSelection

Thursday’s crunch tie between Canada and Morocco could be low scoring in the first half. Based on the tournament thus far, the game could go into the halftime break nil-nil. 

Morocco need to win to ensure they progress to the next round. A draw would see them into the next round as well. Canada will be disappointed with being eliminated after two games in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The team will still give everything as this is Canada’s first World Cup since 1986. 

Morocco’s 2-0 win against Belgium saw both goals come in the second half. The majority of goals in Canada’s games came in the first half. However, Morocco are a strong defensive side that will keep the game close in the opening 45 minutes. The second half could be frantic and our betting tips prediction is for most goals to be scored in the second half. 

Winning margin: Either team to win by one goal

singleSelection

Thursday’s game at Al Thumama Stadium should be close. It could be decided by just one goal when Canada and Morocco play. Canada’s game against Belgium was decided by one goal, as the Canucks lost 1-0. 

Morocco have scored just two goals in two games in the World Cup. The Atlas Lions aren’t the strongest team going forward although there are some fantastic players in the side. Canada scored just one goal in their opening two matches. 

Three of Canada’s last seven games finished with a one-goal margin separating the teams. Our betting tips prediction is for a close game with either team winning by one goal at full-time. 

This betting selection covers the possibility of Canada or Morocco winning. Morocco’s desperation to win could allow Canada to sneak a goal and spoil the World Cup party.
