It all comes down to the final group match against Colombia for a Canadian side that has shown ennobling, remarkable character in the wake of a drone scandal the players had nothing to do with.
Les Rouges' consecutive victories over New Zealand and France, the latter of which manifested like a redemptive Disney feature presentation, wiped out the six-point deduction the team incurred as part of the spying penalty.
The decision on Canada's appeal is expected before the 3 p.m. kickoff of Wednesday's match, taking place in Nice, France (CBC, Peacock). If Canada lose the appeal, nothing but a win will suffice.
Our Colombia vs. Canada odds, picks, and predictions focus on the match result and a potential goalscorer.
While even a victory might not be enough to qualify for the quarterfinals, Canada's players have played inspired soccer, digging deeper than an oil drill bit searching for paydirt.
Les Rouges are the consensus favorites across our best sports betting sites to take all three points against Colombia.

Colombia vs. Canada score prediction
Canada's adrenaline-fueled 2-1 comeback win over France will surely buoy the collective entering Wednesday's must-win match against a Colombia side with a win and a loss through two matches.
In their opener, Colombia lost 3- 2 to France but enjoyed a solid redemptive performance in the 2-0 victory over New Zealand.
Colombia, the 22nd-ranked nation, must get something from the match to guarantee qualification. The Canadians, however, are not in a conciliatory mood, using the inexplicable actions of a few to their advantage, sourcing inspiration where many would capitulate.
The improbable victory over France would not only have injected more confidence but also probably calmed some nerves. Look for Canada's players to continue defying the odds against Colombia and secure their third straight victory while keeping things clean and tight at the back.
The +900 odds will yield a $90 profit on a winning $10 bet.
Odds: +900 | Implied probability: 10%
Colombia vs. Canada anytime goal scorer prediction
While Jessie Fleming doesn't score a ton for Canada, most of her goals come at meaningful moments in important matches. Fleming scored against France and assisted in the opener versus New Zealand. Of her 13 goals for Canada, seven have come at major tournaments. She has seven goals in her last 19 World Cup, World Championship, and Olympic matches.
Compare that to her six goals in the other 49 matches, and you have yourself someone who elevates their level of play at the most pivotal times. The +310 odds will yield a $31 profit on a $10 bet if she scores her second of the tournament.
Odds: +310 | Implied probability: 24.39%
Colombia vs. Canada best bet
If you believe in momentum, defiance, and an irrepressible collective will to prove the world wrong, back Canada to beat Colombia. That's what I'm doing. While Colombia are a solid team with elite players, they haven't faced the stiff adversity Canada have been forced to deal with.
The Canadians are on a 15-match unbeaten run, excluding penalties, with their last defeat against Brazil in late October.
Colombia have lost three of their last six, including a comprehensive 3-0 setback against the USA in March. In a vacuum, Canada are the better side. Their resolve has only strengthened since the dreaded drone event, which should propel them over the final group-stage hurdle.
A winning $10 bet will garner a $9.52 profit.
Odds: -105 | Implied probability: 51.22%
