Why Canada Over 1.5 Goals for Canada vs Qatar
The Canadian national team have displayed more attacking menace than Qatar throughout the last year and a half. Even if Qatar manages to put up a fight on Thursday, we expect Canada to control the tempo and create lots of chances in the final third, making Canada Over 1.5 goals our primary pick.
Canada Strong Run Of Form
The numbers are there to back it up. Canada finished 1st in the Qualification campaign, scoring 23 goals and conceding only 7.
Qatar Defensive Challenges
The hosts have scored 17 times across their last 4 home victories, averaging more than 4 goals per game during that stretch.
Verdict
All signs points to a high-scoring afternoon in Vancouver. Qatar may park the bus and make it scrappy, but I don’t see them containing this Canadian attack for 90 minutes. The hosts should control the game, create the clearer opportunities, and eventually wear down a defence that has looked vulnerable, making Canada Over 1.5 Goals our preferred selection.
