All eyes will be on SoFi Stadium when South Africa and Canada face each other in the World Cup knockout stages. As Canada look sharp up front and determined to go all the way at the showpiece tournament in their homeland, we predict a 2-0 away win. Bafana Bafana booked their place in the last 32 thanks to a shock 1-0 victory over South Korea, showing great discipline and defensive organization. Midfielder Teboho Mokoena returns from suspension, providing a significant boost, but fellow midfielder Themba Zwane remains unavailable. Recent statistics suggest that goals have been hard to come by for South Africa, who average just 0.9 goals per game and have won only two of their last ten matches. However, they remain a difficult side to break down, conceding only 1.2 goals per match.
Canada, on the other hand, have generally impressed on home soil, thrashing Qatar 6-0, drawing with Bosnia 1-1, and suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to Switzerland. The Canucks have been solid defensively, keeping six clean sheets in their last ten matches while conceding just 0.6 goals per game. Key midfielder Stephen Eustaquio returns to the starting XI, while Ismael Kone remains sidelined through injury. Alphonso Davies is still a major doubt.
As Canada have shown more consistency throughout the tournament, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Jonathan David to Score and Under 2.5 Goals (South Africa rarely score freely, while Canada boast a strong defence).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Sunday 28 June 2026 at 20:00.
