Milan Borjan starts in goal, with Steven Vitoria, Kamal Miller and Alistair Johnson protecting him. Sam Adekugbe and Tajon Buchanan protect the back-line from the wide positions.<\/p>\n<p>Atiba Hutchinson and Stephen Eustaquio play in central midfield, providing support for the front line. A relatively set front line includes Alphonso Davies on the left-wing, Jonathan David to the right and Cyle Larin in the middle.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Maple Leafs are currently on a mixed run of form. The last five matches have seen victories over fellow World Cup attendees Qatar and Japan, with losses to Honduras and Uruguay. A 2-2 draw with Bahrain makes Canada&#8217;s form perfectly balanced.<\/p>\n<p>The side looks to be as dangerous as possible on the break. This is thanks to the pace of David and Davies, with the Bayern Munich left-back using his skills far higher up the pitch on the international stage.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Canadian squad is missing a few major players through injury. This includes Maxime Crepeau, one of the strongest goalkeepers in MLS and arguably a starter at this World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Although Alphonso Davies has suffered with injuries of late and remains something of a doubt, he&#8217;ll look to force his way into the side. If he&#8217;d want to play any match at this World Cup, it would be the Pot A opposition, Belgium.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Predicted Lineup<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Milan Borjan<\/li>\n<li>Alistair Johnson<\/li>\n<li>Steven Vitoria<\/li>\n<li>Kamal Miller<\/li>\n<li>Tajon Buchanan<\/li>\n<li>Sam Adekugbe<\/li>\n<li>Stephen Eustaquio<\/li>\n<li>Atiba Hutchinson<\/li>\n<li>Alphonso Davies<\/li>\n<li>Jonathan David<\/li>\n<li>Cyle Larin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current Odds: Canada vs Belgium<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Belgium are favourites at 10\/17, with the draw at 17\/5.
