South Africa 7s vs Canada 7s Prediction: An easy opponent for South Africa

In the Sevens USA, South Africa 7s is scheduled to face Canada 7s. Both teams have been struggling in recent performances and are aiming for a change in fortune in this upcoming match.

South Africa 7s has struggled to improve their performance this week, following a disappointing showing in the Svns Canada last month. Their journey in the Svns USA began with a defeat against Ireland 7s, where they were unable to score, ending the match 17-0 in favor of Ireland. The second game proved equally challenging, with Argentina 7s overpowering them. Their sole victory came against Spain 7s. Consequently, South Africa 7s finished at the bottom of the group stage standings. Despite qualifying for the 9th-12th placed sides semi-finals, they suffered another setback, losing a match that concluded with a score of 10-19.

Canada 7s is currently performing at a subpar level, and leading up to this match, they have failed to secure a single victory this year. In the Svns USA tournament, Canada 7s finished at the bottom of Group C with zero points. During their matches, they experienced defeats against France 7s, Fiji 7s, and Great Britain 7s. Even in the 9th-12th placed Semifinal against New Zealand 7s, Canada 7s faced challenges and, as a result, extended their losing streak to 14 consecutive matches.

Although both teams have displayed weaknesses, South Africa is notably in a better position. Considering that Canada 7s has yet to secure a victory, I don't anticipate a turnaround for them in this match. South Africa has emerged victorious in each recent encounter between these teams, and I predict they will cover the -6.5 points spread. Additionally, despite Canada 7s' effectiveness in recent matches, even with subpar defensive performances, I expect the total number of points scored in this match to be high.
