Canada enters World Cup opener as favourites - Odds point towards a winning start

Canada's route to the 2026 World Cup knockout stage begins in Group B, where Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar, and Switzerland each stand in their way. With Alphonso Davies sidelined with an injury, sports analysts are expecting a close matchup between both teams. This game represents Canada's clearest path to three points in the group stage, while a draw could leave them under pressure to earn results against Qatar and Switzerland.
