Wales vs. Canada: International Friendly Odds and Prediction
The victory extends Canada’s steady run in international friendlies, where they have suffered just one loss in their past seven matches. Wales return home after eking out a 1-0 win in Kazakhstan last week. However, the Welsh have failed to post consecutive wins while compiling a 4-3-2 win-draw-loss record in their past nine outings across all competitions.
Wales have emerged as +135 favorites on the international soccer three-way odds ahead of Tuesday’s matchup. Canada trail as +180 underdogs while the odds of this contest finishing tied after 90 minutes are pegged at +240. The total is favoured to go UNDER 2.5, with -145 odds.
Wales vs. Canada Betting Analysis
Tuesday’s matchup marks the first meeting between these sides since Wales claimed a 1-0 win in a 2004 friendly, who have topped Canada in two of three all-time clashes. Wales have also been steady while playing on home turf, going 3-1-1 in their past five while scoring an average of 2.6 goals per match, and have seen each of their past three home victories come by multi-goal margins. Winners in seven of 11 across all competitions, Canada have regularly filled the net, potting 23 total goals during their current 7-2-2 run. The Reds have also been a reliable bet on the road, earning at least a point in five of their past six and keeping clean sheets five times while going 7-1-3 in their past 11.
Wales
With three crucial qualifying matchups that will determine their World Cup coming up later this fall, the Dragons will be eager to turn in a dominant performance in their final match of this international window. The squad benefited from the recent solid play of forward Kieffer Moore, who sealed the win in Kazakhstan with a goal in the 24th minute. Moore has heated up in early-season play, scoring four times in his past three EFL Championship appearances with Wrexham AFC, and has also bulged the twine in two of his past three appearances with the Dragons. Brennan Johnson has also gotten off to a strong start in Premier league play, scoring twice in three matches and is perched among the favorites on the Canada vs Wales goalscorer props as a +250 bet to score on Tuesday.
Canada
Canada stormed out of the gate in Friday’s visit to Bucharest, seizing control with two goals in the first 22 minutes and never looking back in a 3-0 win. Jonathan David maintained his recent torrid pace, opening the scoring in the 11th minute with his third goal in as many international caps, and has recorded five goals in eight total matches with both Canada and Juventus. Unsurprisingly, David leads all strikers as +210 bet to score anytime and an attractive +550 bet to be the first goalscorer for the fourth time in as many national team appearances. Goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau backstopped the squad to a clean sheet victory over Romania, and has now surrendered three total goals in his past five international appearances
Prediction: Canada 1, Wales 1
