Canada vs Qatar prediction as hosts look to build on opening World Cup draw

Cyle Larin of Canada celebrates with teammates after scoring the team's first goal during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group B match between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium.

Canada have a great chance to claim their first ever World Cup victory as they prepare to face Qatar in their second group match.

The co-hosts drew their opening game 1-1 against Bosnia and Herzegovina, so there's no guarantee that they will take all three points in their second fixture.

However, with home advantage once again on their side, there's every chance they can finally taste victory in a World Cup match.

Canada vs Qatar predictions

Qatar pulled off a big shock when they scored a late equaliser against group favourites Switzerland.

However, further heroics could well be beyond them, particularly in Vancouver where their fans are going to be heavily outnumbered by the Canadians.

The hosts' star player Alphonso Davies is back in the squad too, although only on the bench, but he may well not be needed with Canada likely to be strong enough to beat their opponents comfortably.

The bookies have made Canada firm favourites for this tie and it's very hard to disagree with them.

All signs point to Jesse Marsch's men finally breaking their duck and picking up their first World Cup win.
