Verdict
BT4Y analyst view
BT4Y analyst view: Under that scoring level is the preferred angle because ten of Canada's last eleven matches finished under 2.5 goals, matching Qatar's low goal averages perfectly. Canada are carrying more of the scoring load at that scoring level per match, with Qatar at 1. That tells us two things at once: they are hard to beat, but they are not exactly turning games into fireworks displays.
