Double chance : South Africa or draw

South Africa has not been in great form lately. They lost their most recent game and have not won any of their last three matches, with just one draw to show for it. Canada is also struggling, having lost their last two games, including a heavy defeat where they conceded several goals. Both teams are heading into this match looking to turn things around.

There is no history of recent meetings between these two sides, so this feels like an open contest where either team could take charge. Given that both have had difficulties getting good results lately, this match looks like it could be very close. A draw seems like the most likely outcome here, as neither side comes into the game with clear momentum.
