Venezuela vs. Canada men’s soccer prediction and odds: Expect a low-scoring affair on Tuesday

The Canadian men’s soccer team plays its final game of the year on Tuesday when it battles Venezuela in an international friendly.

The pregame narrative: Canada is favoured to win this matchup despite a three-game goalless drought, as it was stifled by Ecuador, Colombia and Australia. Les Rouges have dropped two spots in FIFA’s ranking to 28 but are still well above their opponents, who sit at 50.

Canadian men’s soccer prediction

Best bet: Both teams to score — No (-127)

Canada’s recent three-game stretch looks bad on paper, but it helps to add some context.

Les Rouges received a questionable red card five minutes in against Ecuador last Thursday, and they held their opponents to zero shots on target in the 0-0 draw.

That’s a testament to how strong Jesse Marsch’s defence has been.

Canada has only allowed one goal in its last five games, and it was to Australia in a match it largely dominated. Les Rouges out-possessed (60.7-to-39.3) and out-shot (8-to-1) the Socceroos in Montreal back in October.

I’m confident Canada can produce another clean sheet, but this is a better way to buy in on the team’s defence while also gaining exposure to its offensive struggles.

Key stat: This bet has cashed in six of Venezuela’s last seven games in addition to each of Canada’s last five games.

World Cup European qualifier games and Matchday 10 predictions: Back Spain to cap off perfect run with a clean sheet

The final round of World Cup European qualifier games takes place on Tuesday, with several spots up for grabs.

The pregame narrative: Spain has yet to concede a goal at the qualifiers, and can put a bow on its perfect run with a win over Turkey. Elsewhere, Belgium can qualify with a win, and is a huge favourite over lowly Liechtenstein.

World Cup qualifier predictions Matchday 10

Best bet: Turkey under 0.5 goals (-106)

Spain secured the top spot in FIFA’s global ranking in September, and I don’t expect it to relinquish that title any time soon.

La Roja are on a 30-game unbeaten run dating back to a shock loss to Scotland in 2023. That includes winning the Euro Cup and this perfect World Cup qualifying run, where they’ve won all five games with 18 goals scored and zero conceded.

-> Wager on World Cup qualifiers today!

Spain beat Turkey, 6-0, in Konya back in September as part of its current five-game streak without conceding a goal. It most recently secured a 4-0 victory over Georgia in Tbilisi on the weekend.

Back on home turf, it’s tough to imagine Luis de la Fuente’s defensive line cracking against a shorthanded side.

Hakan Calhanoglu, Turkey’s captain and top offensive driver, will miss Tuesday’s match with a wrist injury.

World Cup European qualifier games and Matchday 9 predictions: Bet on England’s Harry Kane, Spain’s Mikel Merino to score

World Cup qualifier predictions Matchday 9

The 2026 World Cup picture is starting to take shape with European nations competing for a spot in the upcoming international tournament.

The pregame narrative: England has dominated in its quest to qualify and should stay perfect behind a strong performance from Harry Kane. On Saturday, look for Spain’s top scorer, Mikel Merino, to add another goal to his tally.

Check out the Matchday 9 schedule and my top World Cup qualifier predictions for the European games, including Slovakia vs. Northern Ireland.

World Cup qualifier predictions Matchday 9

Best bet: Slovakia to win (+100): Slovakia’s only loss in the WCQ qualifying stage was against Northern Ireland, 2-0, on the road.

But the side has shown enough for me to chalk that up to a bad performance and nothing more.

Slovakia has otherwise been perfect. The nation is 3-0-1 in Group A with a pair of clean-sheet wins over Luxembourg and, more impressively, a 2-0 win over first-place Germany.

That win came at home, where Friday’s contest will be played.

Overall, Slovakia hasn’t lost at home since Sept. 8, 2023, when the side fell 1-0 to Portugal. Since then, it’s gone undefeated in eight straight games.

-> Wager on World Cup qualifiers today!

Northern Ireland is a quality team, but it hasn’t had any success on the road.

In 2025, the side is 1-0-3 away from home, with a -5 goal differential. Its only win came against Luxembourg, one of the worst nations in European qualifiers.

I’m willing to look past the recent match between these two, and I expect a much better, winning effort from Slovakia at home.

Key stat: Slovakia has yet to concede a goal on home turf in 2025.

European soccer picks

Harry Kane to score (-120): This is quite a steep price for a goal scorer pick, but Kane is in a league of his own.

The Englishman has six goals in six WCQ matches, and his 26 shots and 14 shots on target far outpace anyone else on England.

Kane isn’t only clinical for the national team; he’s also lighting up the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

-> Bet on Harry Kane and England vs. Serbia

In 10 games in Germany, the striker has 13 goals. No one else in the Bundesliga has recorded more than six.

Across all competitions, Kane has scored in 12 of his last 15 matches.

When England played Serbia back in September, Kane opened the scoring in a 5-0 routing.

This time, the two sides will meet at Wembley Stadium, giving England an even greater edge with home-field advantage.

Knowing all of this, it starts to paint a picture of why there’s still tremendous value on this pick even at this price.

Soccer best bets

Merino to score (+175): I was surprised to see these odds attached to Spain’s top goal scorer at this competition.

Merino plays midfield, but he likes to get forward, leading to six goals in four qualifying matches for Spain.

-> Bet on Mikel Merino to score on Saturday

The Spanish squad lacks a true striker and plays through its attacking midfielder … a lot.

Merino leads the team with 15 shots and is one of two Spanish players to have recorded more than six.

Yet he has the fifth-shortest odds to score. With Lamine Yamal ruled out of the remainder of qualifying with an injury, the side should rely more heavily on Merino’s offensive prowess.

His opponent on Saturday, Georgia, has conceded two or more goals in three of the four qualifying matches.

Canada vs. Ecuador men’s soccer prediction and odds: Expect low-scoring match at BMO Field

The Canadian men’s soccer team hosts Ecuador for an international friendly on Thursday.

The pregame narrative: It will be a cold night at BMO Field with both sides preparing for the World Cup coming to North America this summer. With the temperature expected to be close to zero degrees at game time, I expect a slow match between two tough defensive teams.

Canada vs. Ecuador odds as of 4:16 p.m. ET on 11/10/2025.

Canadian men’s soccer prediction

Under 2.5 goals (-120): Both sides should be slow to start in the brisk November air in Toronto.

Even the Canadian players aren’t used to playing in weather like this.

On top of that, this is a good pick based on past results.

Ecuador has gone under this total in seven straight matches.

Canada has finished under this total in three straight friendlies, scoring just one goal across those matches.

-> Wager on this soccer match today!

Les Rouges’ offence still struggles to score against top competition, and Ecuador fits the bill.

The nation sits 23rd in the FIFA World Rankings, and is currently in second place in South American qualifiers behind only Argentina.

Ecuador has been the best defensive team in the qualifiers, allowing just five goals in 18 matches. For context, Argentina ranks second with 10 goals conceded.

Canada recently drew 0-0 with Colombia in a friendly, a side that has allowed 18 goals in WCQ.

The Canadian defence has also been a strong point. They have held clean sheets in three of four international friendlies during this stint. Les Rouges lost 1-0 to Australia in the outlier.

Key stat: Canada has played five top 35-ranked nations in 2025. This under is 4-1 in those fixtures.

Top European soccer picks and predictions Nov. 9: Look for Real Madrid to continue La Liga dominance

Following a short Champions League stint, European soccer leagues are back in action with a loaded weekend slate.

The pre-weekend narrative: Brighton holds firm in the top 10 of the EPL standings and is at home this Sunday against Brighton. In La Liga, look for Real Madrid to continue its dominance in its match against Rayo Vallecano.

Check out this weekend’s best European soccer predictions and picks for games on Nov. 9, 2025, featuring a best bet on Bologna vs. Napoli.

-> Join NorthStar Bets & wager on European soccer

Soccer predictions and picks: Nov. 9

Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Madrid (Nov. 9, 10:15 a.m. ET)

Best bet: Real Madrid halftime/fulltime (+118)

Madrid is coming off a tough loss in the Champions League to Liverpool, but now the side returns to Spain, where it’s been a step ahead of the competition.

Los Blancos are first in La Liga with a 10-0-1 record and the league’s best goal differential (+16).

Their only defeat came against another Spanish giant, Atletico Madrid, which is a respectable loss.

Vallecano isn’t on the same level.

-> Bet on Real Madrid to win

The side is hanging around in 10th place, but is coming off a 4-0 loss to Villarreal this past weekend.

Villarreal is a good team, but it falls a tier or two below Real Madrid.

Los Blancos rank first in average match rating (7.32) and first in clean sheets (five). They also have the most expected goals (26.5) and are tied for the fewest goals conceded in Spain.

Key stat: Madrid has the best average goal differential in La Liga (+1.3).

EPL prediction

Matchup: Crystal Palace vs. Brighton (Nov. 9, 9 a.m. ET)

Crystal Palace to win (+110): I like the value backing Crystal Palace at home.

The side is undefeated in five home fixtures in the EPL this season. That includes a win over Liverpool and, most recently, a comfortable 2-0 win over Brentford.

Meanwhile, Brighton is 1-3-1 on the road in the Premier League, indicating a clear advantage for Palace.

The London side has been consistently good all season, owning the third-best average match rating behind Arsenal and Manchester City, per Fotmob.

Crystal Palace won both meetings with Brighton last season, winning one match at home and the other on the road.

-> Bet on Sunday’s soccer matches

Serie A best bet

Matchup: Bologna vs. Napoli (Nov. 9, 9 a.m. ET)

Over 2.5 goals (+160): These are solid defensive teams, but both offences can create goals.

While both rank inside the top six for goals conceded, they are also tied with the second most goals scored (1.6/match).

That makes this juicy plus-money price on the over worth a look.

Across all competitions, six of Napoli’s last 10 matches have gone over this total.

The same can be said for Bologna, as six of its past 10 matches have had a total of three goals or more.

Both sides are top-seven in Serie A for expected goals, showcasing the offensive potential in this match.

Champions League predictions Matchday 4: Bet on Inter Milan to fill the net with ease

There are nine more Champions League games on Wednesday to wrap up Matchday 4.

The pregame narrative: Barcelona takes its talents on the road to battle Club Brugge in a game that should feature plenty of scoring. Elsewhere, look for Inter Milan to pick up an early lead against Kazakhstani side Kairat Almaty.

Check out the best Champions League predictions for Nov. 5.

-> Join NorthStar Bets & wager on the Champions League

Champions League predictions Matchday 4

Best bet: Inter Milan over 1.5 first-half goals (-125)

This is a true David vs. Goliath matchup.

Inter Milan reached the Champions League final last year and is a perfect 3-0-0 with a +9 goal differential and zero goals conceded.

Kairat Almaty is playing in the Champions League for the first time in its history. It is 0-1-2 with a -8 goal differential through three games.

The Kazakhstani club has lost 4-1 to Sporting CP and 5-0 to Real Madrid before logging a 0-0 tie against Greek side Pafos, which was down to 10 men in the fourth minute.

-> Bet on Inter Milan to win

Neither Sporting nor Real Madrid cleared this line, with seven of the nine goals coming in the second half. But Kairat still gave up a bunch of chances and should struggle on the road against Inter Milan’s offence.

The Nerazzuri lead Serie A in goals per match (2.4), possession (60.8%), xG (19.1), big chances (44), and big chances missed (28), per FotMob.

Key stat: Inter Milan is 3-0 against this line in the UCL this season.

Embed: #120667

-> Bet on Wednesday’s Champions League matches

Best bet: Club Brugge vs. Barcelona

Club Brugge vs. Barcelona over 3.5 goals (-127): Barcelona’s offence is nearing full health after an injury-plagued start to the season.

Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal are back in the mix, with Raphinha potentially returning this weekend.

It would be nice if the Brazilian attacker was suiting up on Wednesday, but I can still see Barcelona doing enough damage in his absence to push this game over the 3.5-goal total.

Each of Barcelona’s last nine games has had 3+ total goals scored. In that span, the over on this number is 4-5.

Barcelona has conceded in eight straight contests, giving up seven goals in its last three road games.

Club Brugge sits second in the Belgian Pro League with a 9-2-2 record, tallying the third-most goals (21).

But the squad has struggled against elite competition, giving up four goals to Bayern Munich in Matchday 3 and two goals to Atalanta in Matchday 2.
