Canada hosts Chile on 27 September 2026 at 02:00 in Toronto at BMO Field, their first friendly since the World Cup. Jesse Marsch's squad returns home for the first time after the tournament, with Jonathan David leading the attack following his move to Atlético Madrid. Alphonso Davies, the captain, misses the camp for his wedding. Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau is also absent. Canada fielded 26 players for this camp and must prove the World Cup performance was not a one-off before facing Peru and the United States later in the autumn.
Chile arrives under new coach Nicolás Córdova with 27 core players plus three invitees. The squad mixes experience—Gabriel Suazo, Paulo Díaz, Benjamín Kuscevic, Ben Brereton—with younger talent including Darío Osorio, Lucas Cepeda and Iván Román. Chile faces the United States and Mexico after this fixture. Both teams treat the friendly as a genuine test: Canada wants to reward its home crowd, Chile wants to assess a revamped squad against strong opposition.
Form and H2H
Canada's last 10 matches show four wins and four draws against two losses, averaging 1.51 goals for and 0.91 against. Chile won five of its last 10 with one draw and four losses, scoring 1.32 goals per game but conceding 1.68. The teams drew 0-0 on 30 June 2024.
Betting patterns favour Canada's chances. Home win bets have lost 5.13 units over time, but that reflects heavy backing of the favourite. Canada's team total under 1.5 goals has returned 2.96 units profit, suggesting the market overestimates Canada's attacking output in recent friendlies. Chile's away record shows mixed signals: win bets gained 2.31 units, but the team concedes regularly on the road at 1.68 per game.
Best bet
Back Canada to win. The home side has won four of its last 10 matches and plays in front of its supporters for the first time since the World Cup, creating genuine motivation. Jonathan David leads a capable attack. Chile's away form includes four losses in ten, and the team concedes 1.68 goals per game on the road. No partner prices are currently available for this match.
Odds to watch
Canada's attacking output in recent friendlies has disappointed bettors despite the team's quality. Team total under 1.5 goals has been profitable, suggesting odds on Canada over 1.5 goals may offer value if the market prices in World Cup momentum. Chile's away record—five wins, one draw, four losses—makes the double chance of Canada win or draw worth monitoring. No partner prices are currently available for this match.
