Two nations enter World Cup knockout football for the very first time when South Africa face Canada at Los Angeles Stadium on June 28. The stakes could not be higher: a place in the Round of 16. Canada's attacking firepower makes them favourites at 1.69<\/a>, but Bafana Bafana's resilient defensive run adds genuine intrigue to this historic encounter.<\/p>

Projected final score: 0-2<\/h3>

Canada arrive as clear favourites, and 1.69<\/a> reflects their statistical dominance: 2.7 goals per game versus South Africa's 0.7, and Jonathan David fresh off a hat-trick against Qatar. Hugo Broos has tightened his defensive block, but his side has yet to face attacking quality anywhere near Canada's level in this tournament.<\/p>

A two-goal margin with a clean sheet for Canada feels right given South Africa's disciplined 4-2-3-1 and their 174-plus minute streak without conceding. Canada's own defensive fragility, with Bombito carrying rust and Davies a fitness doubt, invites caution on a high-scoring game, making 1.69<\/a> less compelling than a tight, controlled Canadian victory.<\/p>
