Canada vs Morocco: Bet builder tips
Both teams to score in Canada vs Morocco
For the first leg of our Canada vs Morocco bet builder, we're tipping both teams to score in the Round of 16, with both nations currently having found the net in every one of their 2026 World Cup matches so far.
Three out of Morocco's four games this summer have featured goals for both sides, while 50% of Canada's matches have followed the trend, and while neither side has been overly prolific to this point, they always seem to score - so we're expecting much of the same here. Canada's average of seven shots on target per match has them joint-second behind France, while Morocco hit the target more than five times a game, so a busy day is in store for both goalkeepers.
Having recently been snapped up by Bayern Munich, the 25-year-old is making waves in the footballing world with his consistent performances, scoring his country's only goals in their opening two games, and with an impressive record of 12 international goals in 34 games, his impact comes as no surprise. Saibari is averaging just shy of 2.5 shots a game this summer, with roughly one in every three hitting the target, and having scored the winning penalty in their RO32 triumph, the ever-improving frontman will be brimming with confidence.
So we think he's scoring here, leading the line to huge effect once again and bagging goal number four of a hugely impressive World Cup campaign.
Luc De Fougerolles to be shown a card
Having been taken out of the starting lineup for Canada's victory over South Africa, we're tipping Luc De Fougerolles to be reinstated to the XI in Texas - but against a tricky Morocco frontline, we think he'll be shown a card.
The young defender is still in his first full season of senior football, and will seldom have come up against strikers as difficult to handle as Saibari, so our experts are anticipating a really tough afternoon for the Canadian. De Fougerolles has already been booked once this summer, picking up a card for a tactical foul against Bosnia, and with an average of well over a foul committed per 90, the 20-year-old is making a habit of catching the referee's eye - which we're expecting to bite him here.
The Fulham centre-back is impressing for Jesse Marsch's team, but in the biggest match of his young career, he may well overstep the mark - receiving a card in the process.
Morocco to beat co-hosts Canada and reach the quarter-finals
Ranked seventh in the world, and having already drawn to Brazil and the Netherlands - who they beat on penalties - Morocco are one of the strongest outfits at the entire tournament, and boast star quality that Canada can't really match (if Alphonso Davies isn't fit). Mohamed Ouahbi's side are still unbeaten at the 2026 World Cup, and haven't actually lost any of their last 32 matches, so Canada's task couldn't be much tougher - even if they are spurred on by the prospect of reaching a first-ever quarter-final.
Paraguay or tournament favourites France await the winner of this one, and in agreement with Ladbrokes' latest odds, we're tipping Morocco to send co-hosts Canada packing.
