Curacao vs Canada Odds
Canada is currently the favorite sitting at -240 while Curaçao is the underdog sitting at +550. The total in this game is at 2.5 goals, with the over paying out at -120.
Curacao Betting Preview
Curacao’s last game came all the way back last June against Canada. In that game, they did manage 45 percent of the possession, but they didn’t have any shots on goal. They also allowed Canada to have nine shots on goal, and if they want any chance in this game, the defense is going to need to be better. Curacao is currently ranked 86th in the World, and there isn’t a lot of confidence in this team to find success in the next couple of games. If they can hold Canada to under a couple of goals, that might be something that is considered a win for this team.
Canada Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Canada, who qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1986, but they couldn’t make it out of the group stage. In the last game against Morocco on December 1st the defense gave up two goals and that led to the one goal defeat. The only goal scored for Canada was an own goal. They actually finished that game with zero shots on target. Canada’s National team is an interesting spot now. They have a lot of talent, and need to win these games, but they also want to get some of the younger players some work. Goalkeepers Maxime Crepeau and James Patemis are both hurt and not going to be available for selection for this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
Canada is going to have little issues in this game, but there isn’t a lot of value taking them here. Canada is going to score at least three goals here, and that opens up some value with the total. Even if Curacao doesn’t score any goals, there will still be enough goals for this game to go over. Back the over 2,5 goals.
