Betting tips

Tip 1: Result

Most sources suggest betting on a Canadian win. While friendlies can be unpredictable, Canada has a stronger squad and more talented players. They are also highly motivated, as they will be eager to make a good impression ahead of the World Cup. Bahrain, meanwhile, has lost its last two games and failed to qualify for the World Cup.

Tip 2: Goals over/under 2.5

Go for under 2.5 goals. Canada is likely to rotate its squad and focus on executing a game plan rather than achieving a high score. They might dominate possession and play direct, or cede possession and invite pressure from Bahrain, depending on their strategy for the World Cup.

Tip 3: Both teams to score

Pick 'No' for this option. While Bahrain will be preparing for the Gulf Cup, they have lost their last two friendlies and failed to qualify for the World Cup, indicating a lack of form and confidence. Canada, on the other hand, is on a high after topping the CONCACAF zone during the World Cup qualifiers.

Tip 4: Jonathan David to score

Although odds are not yet available for goal scorers due to lineup uncertainty, Jonathan David is likely to score, given his impressive form for Lille in France. He has nine goals in 14 games and is closing in on Cyle Larin's top-scorer record for Canada.

Tip 5: Canada to be winning at halftime

Canada has led at halftime in both of its last two wins, while Bahrain lost at halftime in its recent defeat to Panama. With the World Cup just two weeks away, Canada will be keen to start strong and make a good impression.
