The Canadian men’s national team is back in action on Tuesday when it hosts the Ivory Coast in the Canadian Shield Tournament.
The pregame narrative: Canada erupted for a 4-2 victory over Ukraine in the tournament opener, securing its first win over a European opponent since 2011. Les Rouges are favoured to beat Ivory Coast, which lost its opener to New Zealand, 1-0.

Best bet
Under 2.5 goals (-130)
Canada cashed the over on this total on its own Saturday … before the halftime whistle blew.
But I’m expecting a more measured contest against a Côte d’Ivoire side that has been great defensively over the last few years.
- The Ivory Coast won the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations by conceding one or fewer goals in six of seven games.
- In the last 12 months, the group is 7-1-3 while allowing just four total goals (0.36 per game). The under on this total is 9-2 in that span.
Canada’s offence has plenty of firepower, with Jonathan David, Cyle Larin and Tajon Buchanan all making noise for the country and European clubs. But Les Rouges are still missing their star player, Alphonso Davies, who suffered an ACL injury in March.
This seems like a match where Jesse Marsch’s squad will rely on securing possession in the midfield instead of relying on the counter-attack.
Key stat: Canada has gone under this mark in nine of its last 15 games, landing on exactly three goals in four of the outliers.
