Croatia vs Canada Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 27th November 2022

Croatia face off against Canada at Khalifa International Stadium in round two of the World Cup. The exciting encounter kicks off this coming Sunday.

Croatia rank as number two on one point after their opening match in the group, while Canada have zero points as number four. Croatia enter their upcoming game placed as number 12 in the FIFA world ranking. This leaves quite a gap to opponents Canada, who enter the game ranked number 41 in the world.

Croatia are expected by the bookmakers to at least challenge for first place in their group. They would be disappointed to end the tournament after only three matches.

Canada arrive at the World Cup with mischief on their mind, but seeing them get beyond the group would indeed raise some eyebrows.

Canada Form

It is all or nothing with Canada, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 2-0 against Uruguay, before beating Japan 1-2.

Tournament Overview

Croatia enter their next assignment in the World Cup hoping to justify their status as slight favourites against Canada. The latter could turn out to be a potential banana skin though, and the former will know how to tread carefully. Canada delivered a poor start to the World Cup season, losing out against Belgium by 1-0. Not an opening which bodes well for the rest of the campaign.
