The Canadian men’s soccer team is back in action on Friday with a friendly against Australia.
The pregame narrative: Les Rouges are undefeated in this spell of friendlies and now face a top team from the Asian World Cup qualifiers. Canada has never been higher in the FIFA World Rankings (No. 26) and can continue to climb ahead of next year’s World Cup on home soil.

Best bet
Canada to win (-139): Including friendlies, Australia is 6-0-0 in 2025. But the lack of solid competition is concerning.
The Australians are one spot higher than Canada in the FIFA World Rankings. However, much like the Canadians, they don’t get to play top teams often.
During its win streak, Australia has played Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, Indonesia and New Zealand twice.
Japan is the only nation ranked inside the top 50 and is in a bit of a freefall. The side lost to the United States, 2-0, in their most recent friendly in September.
Therefore, I can’t help but feel Australia’s current form is a bit overrated.
On the other side, Canada has been battle-tested in recent months. Les Rouges played two friendlies in September and beat formidable European nations Wales and Ukraine without conceding in either match.
Canada has played 13 times over the last year and lost just once in regular time against Mexico. Along with beating Wales and Romania, the side also has wins mixed in over Ukraine and the USA, and a draw against the Ivory Coast.
For the first time ever, Canada is playing teams from all over the world, and Les Rouges continue to prove they belong on the big stage.
Australia hasn’t played any opponents outside its region, and that should be worrying ahead of its match with the red-hot Canadians.
Key stat: Canada has won six of its past nine games against nations ranked inside the top 100.
