Canada/Canada
- The Canucks are expected to win, as they are the more prolific soccer team.
- Canada recorded a very prestigious win over almighty Brazil a while ago.
- It’s important to mention that Canada did tremendously well in the CONCACAF Women’s Championship last year.
BTTS – No
- Nigeria’s display recently has been a little bit of a snooze-fest, as rarely do we see goals galore in the African team’s games.
- Canada’s sturdy defense will make things even more difficult for the Nigerians to find the net.
- The heats might chip away some of the two teams’ attacking mojo as well.

Nigeria vs Canada Lineups & Team News
Nigeria
Despite three back-to-back victories versus Costa Rica, New Zealand, and Haiti, we still have hopes that the Nigerian ladies will play their hearts out in the World Cup tournament. Nigeria suffered a couple of disappointing losses recently, which undoubtedly clipped the players’ wings a bit. However, with the likes of goalkeeper Nnadozie among the key players at the manager’s dispense, to rule Nigeria out would be a mistake.
Predicted lineup – Nnadozie (GK), Ebi, Imuran, Demehin, Aloize, Ayinde, Echegini, Ajibade, Payne, Okoronkwo & Oshoala
Canada
Jordyn Huitema and her teammates may have taken a few hits in their last couple of games, but the Canucks remain favorites to get a result on the 21st of July. The Canadian side seems well-rounded and the team should perform well under pressure in this year’s World Cup tournament. Canada is among the bookies’ hidden favorites for something significant, but we’ll have to wait and see if that’ll truly be the case.
Predicted lineup – Sheridan (GK), Chapman, Gilles, Rose, Lawrence, Schmidt, Fleming, Grosso, Leon, Sinclair & Huitema
Player to Watch: Jordyn Huitema
Jordyn Huitema’s work versus France did not go unnoticed by Football Whispers’ soccer experts. She was desperately hammering away trying to bring her team back into the game, and Fortuna gifted her with a lovely 71st-minute stunner. Sure, it wasn’t enough, as her team eventually lost 2-1, but we do believe she’ll have one hell of a game on Friday at the start of the World Cup. Huitema is a vital cog of this Nigeria vs Canada prediction and we’re more than confident she’ll do well.
