This post covers only the fixture currently shown on The Bedford's Fanzo venue schedule for Sunday 28th June.
South Africa vs Canada preview — 8pm
Tonight's match is a proper knockout-style World Cup occasion: South Africa vs Canada live at The Bedford with sound. Canada arrive as tournament co-hosts and favourites on paper, while South Africa have already made history by reaching this stage and will fancy turning the night into a tense, disciplined contest.
What’s at stake: a place in the next round. South Africa came through Group A as runners-up after recovering from defeat to Mexico with a draw against Czech Republic and a crucial win over South Korea. Canada finished second in Group B, taking four points from three games, including a huge win over Qatar before defeat to Switzerland left them short of top spot.
The winner is expected to move into a round-of-16 tie against either the Netherlands or Morocco, so this is the kind of game where one set piece, one defensive lapse or one moment from a forward can shape the whole evening. South Africa are likely to rely on organisation, compact defending and counters; Canada should bring more direct attacking threat through their wide players and front line.
Team news and injuries
South Africa: Teboho Mokoena is available again after suspension, a boost for the midfield. Themba Zwane remains suspended after his earlier red card. Evidence Makgopa is expected to continue as the focal point, with Ronwen Williams, Teboho Mokoena, Relebohile Mofokeng and Oswin Appollis among the key names to watch.
Canada: Ismael Kone is reported out with a leg/tibia injury. Stephen Eustaquio and Alfie Jones have been listed as fitness doubts, while Alphonso Davies has been working back from a hamstring issue and could be involved if passed fit. Jonathan David, Cyle Larin and Tajon Buchanan give Canada the attacking edge if they find space in transition.
