Canada will make their second ever appearance at the World Cup in 2022, kicking off play against Belgium on Wednesday. The Canadians finished at the top of the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying hexagonal and will like their chances of sneaking into the knockout round through a relatively open Group F.'
Belgium are the group favorite coming into this tournament based on their past success with this golden generation of players. After a quarterfinal showing in 2014, a Euro quarterfinal in 2016, a World Cup semifinal in 2018, and a Euro quarterfinal in 2021, this is the last chance for this generation to win a trophy or make a final.
The Belgians and Canadians both enter this match with major questions amongst the attacking ranks. Canadian star Alphonso Davies is in doubt for this match and may only be fit to play part of it. Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku has already been ruled out of the first two matches of the group stage.
There’s plenty of uncertainty surrounding this group and this match, and the market has moved solidly toward the Canadians. Whether or not the Canadians still have value is heavily dependent upon the status of Davies, however.
