Canada return to the scene of one of their greatest footballing triumphs to take on Uzbekistan in a pre-World Cup international.
The Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton was where the Canucks beat Mexico 2-1 in November 2021 on the road to the last World Cup.
They'll be hoping their return to Alberta gives them good vibes for this clash of cultures and styles against Uzbekistan, who themselves are fine-tuning ahead of their World Cup debut.
Canada v Uzbekistan Tips Summary
Best Bet - Under 2.5 Goals @ 17/20

Canada v Uzbekistan Prediction
Best Bet - Under 2.5 Goals @ 17/20
Canada boss Jesse Marsch has a handful of injury scares and has admitted he will effectively give two teams a half each in their penultimate warm-up game against Uzbekistan.
That promises to produce a scrappy affair and given that Canada's matches are generally short on goals and that the Uzbeks are proven tough cookies to break down, this may not be a classic.
Under 2.5 goals has been the case in nine of Canada's last 11 internationals, while Fabio Cannavaro's well-drilled Uzbeks have been involved in two 0-0s in their last three matches.
Alternative Bet - Over 3.5 Uzbekistan Corners @ 5/4
A messy chop-and-change affair should mean Uzbekistan get a few chances to attack, with young frontmen like Abbosbek Fayzullaev wanting to show their importance to the cause.
In their last two matches against Gabon and Venezuela, the Uzbek's tallied 23 corners, showing what they can do offensively.
Even in a friendly it's probably worth chancing they can chalk up over 3.5 corners.
Canada v Uzbekistan Bet Builder Tip
Both Teams to Score - No
Half With Most Goals - Tie
Over 4 Canada Corners
Pays 8/1
Both teams have failed to score in 10 of Canada's last 13 internationals, so the signs are there that this could be a low-scoring match.
Uzbekistan are known for their defensive organisation and will be determined to stand tough as they prepare to play in North America for the first time in three years. Make both teams not to score the first leg of a Bet Builder.
The prospect of a 0-0 draw is real, so the highest scoring half (tie) appears a fair option as well.
And finally, given they are at home and will want to be positive, take the Canadians to win over four corners against a team who will sit in.
