Canada will kick-start the new four-team men’s soccer tournament, the Canadian Shield, with a match against Ukraine on Saturday. This match between the 31st-ranked Reds and the 25th-ranked Blue and Yellow at BMO Field in Toronto comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals. New Zealand and Ivory Coast are the other two teams participating in the tournament.
This is the first match for the hosts since March, when they defeated the USA 2-1 in the CONCACAF Nations League A playoffs. That was their fourth win in their last five matches, including friendlies, with only a defeat against Mexico proving to be the exception.
This match could be a test of their preparation, as the Canadians haven’t won against a European side since March 2011, when they defeated Belarus in a friendly.
Ukraine are coming off a disappointing loss to Belgium over two legs in the UEFA Nations League A/B relegation playoff. They did win the first leg 3-1 but were swamped 3-0 in the return leg, deciding their fate. That defeat remains their only loss across six matches, winning three and drawing two.
Four of their last five defeats since last June have all been on the road, so Ukraine may feel a bit jittery to be away from home.

Our Canada vs Ukraine Prediction
This is the start of the Canadian Shield tournament as Canada look to get their preparations for the 2026 World Cup underway. The co-hosts will hope to make the most of their friendly matches against quality opposition, considering they don’t go through the qualifiers. They are in good form coming into this fixture, and four wins from their last five games could put them on the front foot. Ukraine are unlikely to dole out any favours, and this match promises to be one of excitement.
Our Canada vs Ukraine prediction is both teams to score.
