The "golden generation" as some called this Belgian team, is slowly coming to an end. They had high expectations, they certainly had reasons for it, but so far they have not managed to achieve any notable results in major competitions. When the next World Cup is held in 2026, Belgium's main players like Hazard and De Bruyne will be 35 years old, Witsel will be 37, Vertonghen and Alderweireld will certainly not play and it will be a completely new team. In today's match, Belgium may have a potential problem with the last two mentioned players. Against them, they will have extremely fast Canadian players like Larin and David, and one run by the Canadian attackers can cause them a lot of trouble. Belgium will be led by Kevin de Bruyne, who is playing in the form of his life, and the extra attention of the Canadians will certainly be directed towards him. Besides him, one of the most famous names is certainly Eden Hazard, but it should be clear to everyone that this is not the same Hazard who played in Chelsea a few years ago. He played only three matches for Real Madrid this year and it is evident that he has a lot of problems with his physical fitness. A huge problem for Belgium will be the absence of Lukaku, and coach Martinez will try to make up for it with Batshuayi, but the difference in quality between these two players is very big. I don't want to present this Belgium team as outsiders in this match, they certainly aren't, but in my opinion, at least at the moment, they have a lot of problems in the team and I believe that they will not have an easy task today.

For Canada, this will be only the second participation in the World Cup and the enthusiasm in the country, as well as in the team itself, is at an extremely high level. And from what I could see in the qualifications, they have a reason for that. They finished the qualification first in the table ahead of the USA and Mexico, which few expected. With a little bit of luck, this Canadian team can very easily be one of the surprises in this tournament. The best part of this team is the attack led by well-known players from European clubs Jonatan David and Cyle Larin. David has had an excellent season so far, in Lille he scored 9 goals in 15 games and will surely be the biggest goal threat for the Belgians. Besides those two, certainly the most famous name of this team is the player of Bayern Munich, Alfonso Davies, who, unlike his role in his team, plays much more offensively in Canada and is very capable of causing a lot of problems to the opponents' defensive players. Watching their games during the qualifiers, one more player caught my attention, and that is Tyon Buchanan. He is a young player who plays for the Belgian Club Brugge and, like the three players mentioned above, he is characterized by exceptional speed. He plays on the right side of the pitch and breaks through the opposition's defense very well. It is very noticeable the great unity in Canada and that will be one of the key factors for them in this tournament. Belgium is the favorite in this match, but I really believe that Canada is not without a chance in this match. Winning with a handicap is a very unpleasant bet, it is enough for the opponent to score only one goal and the bet goes down, and Canada certainly has players who can score at least one goal today. For this reason, I decided on this bet because I think it is much more realistic than Belgium winning with a handicap.

有人称这支比利时队为“黄金一代”，他们正在慢慢走向终结。他们有很高的期望，他们当然有这样的理由，但到目前为止，他们还没有在重大比赛中取得任何显著的成绩。下一届世界杯将于2026年举行，届时比利时的主力球员阿扎尔和德布鲁因将年满35岁，维特塞尔将年满37岁，维尔通亨和阿尔德韦雷尔德肯定不会参加比赛，这将是一支全新的球队。在今天的比赛中，比利时可能会遇到最后提到的两名球员的潜在问题。对阵他们时，他们将拥有像拉林和大卫这样速度极快的加拿大球员，加拿大进攻者的一次跑动会给他们带来很多麻烦。比利时将由凯文·德布鲁因(Kevin de Bruyne)带队，他正以自己的状态踢球，加拿大人的额外注意力肯定会集中在他身上。除了他，最著名的名字之一当然是艾登·阿扎尔，但大家应该清楚的是，这不是几年前在切尔西效力的那个阿扎尔。他今年只为皇马踢了三场比赛，很明显他的身体有很多问题。卢卡库的缺阵对比利时来说是个大问题，主帅马丁内斯会用巴舒亚伊来弥补，但这两名球员的实力差距非常大。我不想把这支比利时队作为这场比赛的局外人，他们当然不是，但在我看来，至少在目前，他们的球队有很多问题，我相信他们今天的任务不会轻松。

对于加拿大来说，这将是他们第二次参加世界杯，这个国家和球队本身的热情都处于极高的水平。从我看到的资历来看，他们这么做是有原因的。他们在预选赛中排名第一，领先于美国和墨西哥，这是很少有人预料到的。只要有一点点运气，这支加拿大队很容易就能成为本届比赛的惊喜之一。这支球队最好的部分是由来自欧洲俱乐部的著名球员乔纳森·大卫和西尔·拉林领导的进攻。到目前为止，大卫的赛季表现非常出色，在里尔，他在15场比赛中打进9球，无疑将成为比利时人最大的进球威胁。除了这两位，这支球队最著名的名字当然是拜仁慕尼黑的球员，阿方索·戴维斯，他不像他在球队中扮演的角色，在加拿大踢得更有进攻性，非常有能力给对手的防守球员造成很多问题。在观看他们的预选赛时，又有一名球员引起了我的注意，那就是泰昂·布坎南。他是一名效力于比利时布鲁日俱乐部的年轻球员，和上面提到的三名球员一样，他的特点是速度超常。他在球场右侧踢球，能很好地突破对手的防守。加拿大的团结是非常明显的，这将是他们在本届比赛中的关键因素之一。比利时在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的，但我真的相信加拿大在这场比赛中不是没有机会的。在有障碍的情况下取胜是一种非常不愉快的赌注，对手只要进一个球就足够了，赌注就会下降，而加拿大现在当然有至少能进一个球的球员。出于这个原因，我决定下这个赌注，因为我认为这比比利时在有障碍的情况下获胜更现实。
