We're straight into the last-32 action at the 2026 World Cup tonight as Canada take on South Africa in Los Angeles.
The co-hosts were hoping to win Group B and stay at home in the knockout stages but a 2-1 loss to Switzerland saw them finish as runners-up.
That means they now head to America but the Canucks will still fancy their chances against a pretty limited South African side.
South Africa vs Canada top betting tips
South Africa didn't impress me much in Group A and only managed to squeeze through after beating South Korea 1-0 in their final group game.
Even though Canada aren't at home tonight, they should still have most of the fans inside the stadium so that could help them get over the line.
Bet365 make Jesse Marsch's side 7/10 favourites but you can boost those odds to 23/20 by adding on under 3.5 goals.
That bet appeals as the Bafana Bafana have conceded just three goals so far, with one of those coming after they had been reduced to 10 men against Mexico.
Celtic defender Alistair Johnston has caught the eye for Canada with his wholehearted displays. The right-back has committed two or more fouls in two of his three outings so far and that bet pays a decent 11/8 tonight.

Wales Under-19s vs Spain Under-19s
Wales are hosting the Under-19 European Championships this summer but have a daunting opener today against 12-time winners Spain.
The Spaniards only missed out on another title last year when the Netherlands edged them out 1-0 in the showpiece so they will be looking to put that right.
This is the first time the Welsh have graced the finals so it's easy to see why Bet365 make them 8/1 outsiders for this Group A opener.
The home side will be fired up, though, and it could be a test of patience for Spain if they fail to make an early breakthrough.
So I'm going to combine a win for the Spanish with under 3.5 goals, a bet that pays 11/8 with Bet365.
Backing most goals to come after the break also appeals and that is priced at evens by the same firm.
Germany Under-19s vs Denmark Under-19s
The other game in Group A at the Under-19 European Championship sees Germany get their campaign underway against Denmark.
The Germans also have a great pedigree in this tournament, winning it six times, while the Danes have never got their hands on the trophy.
Denmark have qualified for the last two finals but bowed out at the end of the group stage on each occasion.
So the Germans look decent value for a win tonight at 5/4 with Bet365, although this should be a close game.
The half-time draw also appeals at 7/5 as the first game in a group can often be cagey as teams size each other up.

Are Canada that much better than SA, not for me. Home advantage is gone and i can just see SA nicking this despite being put under enormous pressure.
Going to take a chance on South Africa win on pens in play at 15/2. The game has a draw written all over it having watched the first 45. Few decisions have went South Africa’s way in the first half so “it might be their day” as the saying goes 😂
