Two in-form teams square off in an International Friendly when Canada hosts Australia at Saputo Stadium on Friday, October 10. 

The Canadians are coming off a great international window, having beaten Wales and Romania both to nil, while Australia followed up by punching their ticket to the World Cup with back-to-back friendly wins against New Zealand. 

With two teams in form, my Canada vs. Australia predictions and free betting picks believe this will be a stalemate. 

Canada vs Australia picks and predictions

My Canada vs Australia best bet: Draw (+220 at Sports Interaction)

The Canadian Men's National Team has reached an all-time high in the latest FIFA rankings, checking in at No. 26. 

With two friendly wins under their belt in the last window against Romania and Wales, things are looking up for this side ahead of next year's World Cup. However, they've been bitten by the injury bug of late, with Moises Bambito the latest stalwart to miss time through injury. 

While that shouldn't affect them too much in these next few friendlies, I think there is tremendous value in backing the draw in this fixture. 

Australia comes to Canada after two wins vs. New Zealand, who are a few notches below the Canadiens in terms of talent. They'll be tested in this match, but with an excellent run of form, they should be up to the task. 

Being an international friendly, with very little on the line, I look for a low-scoring game, one that ends level. 

Both teams have excelled in the defensive third of the pitch, with seven of their last 10 games combined resulting in Under 2.5 goals.

Draw

Under 2.5 goals

There are two paths to success in this SGP, which are either a 0-0 or a 1-1 draw. 

Canada has really impressed me in the defending third, keeping three clean sheets across their last four games. On the other side, Australia have also kept a clean sheet in three of their last five games. 

This will be tight, and chances will be limited.
