Canada vs Morocco - World Cup 2026 Betting Tips (04/07/2026)

Co-hosts Canada will be looking to progress to the quarter-finals of World Cup 2026 when they meet current Africa Cup of Nations champions Morocco. Morocco are the favourites at 1.80 with bet365, while Canada can be backed at 4.75. The draw is priced at 3.50.

We expect Morocco to have too much for the Canadians based on their showing against the Netherlands and past World Cup heroics. They also boast some underrated attacking talent and a solid defence marshalled by star keeper Yassine Bounou.

Reasons to Follow this Bet

• Morocco are currently the 6th highest-ranked side by FIFA compared to Canada's 32 ranking.

• Morocco are a well-rounded unit that has both experience of big games and some impressive attacking talent.

• The battle between Hakimi and Davies on Morocco's right and Canada's left could prove decisive.

Canada vs Morocco - Team News

Hosts Canada again find themselves away from home soil after finishing second in their group. They don't have any major injury issues but will hope that Alphonso Davies is ready to start this contest after against missing the previous game against South Africa. He could come into the side in place of left-back Richie Laryea or into a more attacking role on the left wing. That could see a shift central for Liam Miller.

Morocco are likely to stick with the same side that defeated the Netherlands, with Ismael Saibari leading the line. Both Hakimi and Mazraoui have been keen linking up from attacking full-back positions and Brahim Díaz has done well since an early tournament switch to the right.
