Canada vs Mexico Predictions and Betting Tips
The Edmonton Commonwealth Stadium is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers as Canada and Mexico renew acquaintances.
The Canadians did pick up a point at the Estadio Azteca last month, however, they're still in search of a win in this fixture having failed to get the better of the Mexicans in seven matches.
The hosts keen on preserving unbeaten record
Canada's 'golden generation', who are unbeaten so far, would be looking to secure the nation's first World Cup appearance since 1986. After seven games played, they have amassed a total of 13 points, netting 11 and shipping just four goals for the joint-best scoring and defensive record on the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers standings. In their most recent game, Johnathan David was the hero as the Lille attacker netted the game's only goal to beat Costa Rica much to the delight of the home support. The Canadians would, once again, be buoyed by the home crowd and we could finally see them pick up their first win against El Tri.
The balance of power amongst the Americans and the Mexicans is shifting in favour of the former as we saw Mexico lose for the third time running against their rivals last weekend. Goals from Pulisic and Mckennie made sure of a 2-0 loss for the Mexicans who picked up their first loss of these qualifiers. The Mexicans have made it to every world cup since 1990 and we expect this trend to continue into next year's finals.
