A thrilling final round of matches in Group B is set for the Women’s World Cup on Monday. There will be pressure on the host nation, as Australia must claim victory over Canada to reach the round of 16. Meanwhile, the reigning Olympic champions must also win to secure their spot in the knockout round.
Before Betting On Canada vs Australia
There will be huge stakes on the line in Group B at the Women’s World Cup on Monday, as both Canada and Australia will be looking to avoid exiting the competition in the group stage. Australia will likely face increased pressure in Melbourne, as they will want to avoid becoming the second host nation in history to crash out at the first hurdle.
The Aussies were shocked in their second group stage match last week, as they suffered a 3-2 loss against Nigeria in Brisbane. However, they could welcome back Sam Kerr for her first appearance at the Women’s World Cup for their final group stage match. Australia landed a first win over a CONCACAF nation at their fourth attempt in the previous World Cup.
However, the Aussies are winless in the previous clash against Canada at the World Cup. Meanwhile, Canada is unbeaten in five previous matches against nations from Asia at the competition. But, Canada has often struggled in their final group stage match at the World Cup, as they have won on matchday three in just one of the previous seven editions.
Canada will be aware that a draw will be good enough to secure their passage through to the next round on Monday. That comes after a dramatic 2-1 win over Ireland in their previous match. However, they will likely need to play much better than they did against the Irish if they are to reach the round of 16.
