USA
The Americans beat the Canadians in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Gold Cup in a penalty shootout 3:2 (1:1), and subsequently won the main tournament of the North American continent. Prior to that, the U.S. was stronger than Canada in the 2022 Nations League final, winning 2:0 in regulation time. Overall, the Stars and Stripes have four wins in their last five meetings with the Canadians – three of them in regulation time.
This summer, the U.S. National Team played as an invited team at the America’s Cup, which was also its home tournament. The team failed to prove itself – a victory over Bolivia, but defeats from Panama and Uruguay, and failure to get out of the group.
Canada
The Canadians also took part in Copa America 2024 and, unlike the Americans, managed to get out of the group. The Canadian team, recently managed by Jesse Marsch, lost to Argentina, but drew with Chile and beat Peru to advance to the playoffs from second place. Moreover, the Canadians beat Venezuela in a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals and claimed medals, but first lost again to Argentina in the semi-finals and lost the 3rd place match to Uruguay.
Expert Betting Tips
Despite the superiority in terms of head-to-head statistics in recent years, let’s not bet on the USA here. On the contrary, let’s take Canada, on which they offer good odds. The Maple Leafs showed at the Copa America this summer that head coach Jesse Marsch is the right person for them, and they are ready to compete even with strong national teams. The Americans, on the other hand, failed, and they have yet to find a new head coach just ahead of the World Cup. For now, the Stars and Stripes will be led by Micky Varas as interim coach after Gregg Berhalter’s dismissal.
