Canada face Qatar in their second Group B clash at the 2026 World Cup, with the co-hosts hoping to make history with a win that would likely be enough to secure progression to the knockout rounds. Jesse Marschs side came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina in their tournament opener and claim a first World Cup point.However, given the intensity with which they played and the superiority they displayed for long periods, Canada could consider themselves unlucky not to have claimed their first World Cup win in Toronto.They will be favourites to achieve that feat out west in Vancouver, though Marsch and his side will be wary of the resilience Qatar displayed in claiming a surprise draw with Switzerland.Switzerland had 26 shots on goal in that game, but the floodgates did not open after they took the lead through a Breel Embolo penalty, with an injury-time own goal earning Qatar a point.The Gulf side are also seeking their first win at the World Cup finals, and Canada defender Luc de Fougerolles knows they must be more ruthless to deny Qatar that achievement.We [are] fine-tuning the finishing in training, said de Fougerolles.We created the chances [against Bosnia]. The next step is to finish off those chances and kill the game. Im sure we will take more of them.Table of ContentsWorld Cup 2026: Canada v Qatar team newsCanada v Qatar World Cup 2026 predicted line-upsWhere to watch Canada v Qatar: TV channel, live online streamsWorld Cup 2026: Canada v Qatar statsWorld Cup 2026: Canada v Qatar predictionResponsible GamblingWorld Cup 2026: Canada v Qatar team newsAlphonso Davies (hamstring) and Moise Bombito (leg) remain doubts for Canada.
