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.
