Canada enter as clear favorites at -139 best price, while South Africa, fresh from beating South Korea in the group stage, are priced as heavy underdogs at +465. The World Cup 2026 knockout stage begins in earnest here, with both sides making only their second or third appearance in the tournament’s knockout rounds.
Canada’s Jonathan David leads all scorers in this fixture with three goals at this World Cup, and Cyle Larin has added two more, giving Jesse Marsch’s side a firepower edge that the odds reflect. South Africa held firm defensively through the group stage, conceding just one goal across two competitive matches after their opening loss to Mexico, but they now face a Canadian attack that put six past Qatar.
