It is now or never for Australia as they file out in front of their fans at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in a crucial decider of the future at the ongoing 2023 FIFA World Cup.
Having won their first game by a lone goal against Ireland, co-host Australia let their lead slip in a 3-2 defeat against Nigeria in their second game. The defeat put them in danger of an early exit from the tournament just like their fellow host New Zealand who crashed out on Sunday.
The Canadians are coming off a 2-1 comeback win over Ireland in their second game. They were held to a goalless draw by 10 players Nigeria in their first game.
With Australia in third spot in Group B on three points, Canada are second, joint-level with Nigeria on four points and will be needing just a point to qualify for the next round.
A difficult game our expert believe it will be for co-host Australia as they face the current Olymoic champions Canada, but it is believed the fans will have a lot to cheer from as there will be goal rush.
Some Bookmakers believe the Matildas will have it a the end of the day with odds ranging between 2.10 and 2.30. Canada have been given a odd of 3.20 to get this over their host.
