Group Analysis

Canada make their World Cup return after qualifying for Qatar 2022 — and now they host. Led by Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, they are a different team from four years ago. South Korea with Son Heung-min are the standout opponents and could match Canada quality for quality. Algeria qualified through a competitive CAF campaign and will be organized and hard to beat. Honduras are the underdogs but CONCACAF rivals of Canada who know how to make games difficult.

Key Match to Watch

Canada vs South Korea is the Group C final — both teams are likely to be level on points heading into that clash, making it a winner-takes-all scenario.

Prediction

🏆 ADVANCING: Canada and South Korea

Home soil advantage for Canada and Son Heung-min's quality should be enough to separate these two from Honduras and Algeria.
