South Africa and Canada meet at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday in the Round of 32. Neither side has ever won a World Cup knockout match, with Canada favourites as Jonathan David leads their charge for the last 16.With both sides writing their nations into the history books, BetMGM are offering new customers the chance to score £40 worth of free bets. To grab this bonus, sign up via our link, deposit £10, and place a £10 qualifying bet; the free bets will land as soon as it settles.Canada’s group stage had all the highs and lows of a co-host nation feeling the weight of the occasion. Jonathan David’s hat-trick in a staggering 6-0 dismantling of Qatar announced their knockout credentials, becoming the first host-nation player to score three in a World Cup match since Geoff Hurst in 1966. A 2-1 defeat to Switzerland cost Jesse Marsch’s side top spot and home advantage in Los Angeles, though Alphonso Davies is set to make his long-awaited first start of the tournament after recovering from his hamstring injury.South Africa’s passage to the last 32 is one of the great stories of the group stage. Hugo Broos’ side had two men sent off inside the first half against Mexico on opening night, lost 2-0 with nine men and appeared destined for an early exit. A 1-1 draw against Czechia and a priceless 1-0 win over South Korea – sealed by Thapelo Maseko’s late strike – carried Bafana Bafana into their first-ever World Cup knockout match, with Teboho Mokoena returning from suspension to anchor the midfield.How to unlock the £40 packageSign up with BetMGM as a new customer via our link and claim your £40 free bet package in three simple steps:Deposit £10 or more into your new accountPlace a £10 bet on any market at odds of 2.0 or higherOnce your bet settles, you’ll receive two £10 sports bets and two £10 Bet Builders, all valid for 7 daysA superb boost ahead of a historic Round of 32 opener where one nation will claim their first ever World Cup knockout win in front of a raucous Californian crowd.Canada’s co-host firepower to prove decisive against resilient Bafana BafanaSouth Africa’s defensive discipline has been central to everything they have achieved at this tournament, but they now face a Canada side with greater attacking quality than anything they have encountered in the group stage. With Davies fit and ready to unleash his pace down the left, David looking to add to his three tournament goals and Cyle Larin offering a reliable second striker option, Marsch has the forward firepower to break down even the most organised backline.South Africa have conceded just three times in three games – and only once since their opening-night meltdown against Mexico – but Mokoena’s return gives them their best defensive shape of the tournament. However, Canada’s quality and Davies starting for the first time is the wildcard that could define the tie.Canada to winJonathan David to score anytimeSouth Africa have shown they cannot be written off, and this is knockout football where anything can happen. But Canada’s quality, home support and the extra dimension Davies adds make them the clear pick, with David having scored three goals at this tournament already, Les Rouges finally have a full hand.How to claim BetMGM’s World Cup offerTo claim BetMGM’s scorching offer, follow these steps:Register as a new BetMGM customer ahead of South Africa vs Canada (18+, UK only)Deposit £10 or more using a debit cardPlace a single £10 qualifying bet at minimum odds of evens (2.0) within 7 daysOnce the bet settles, you’ll receive 2 x £10 sports bets and 2 x £10 bet builders, valid for 7 daysYou’ll receive:2 x £10 Sports Bets (any sportsbook market, min odds evens)2 x £10 Bet Builder Free Bets (min 4 legs, odds 4.0 or higher)All free bets valid for 7 daysKey terms and conditions of this BetMGM offer Debit card deposit required (certain other methods excluded).
