Canada hosts El Salvador in round 3 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, September 9th at BMO Field (Toronto)
Canada has now raised a generation where there are not only ice hockey stars. Alphonso Davis, Kyle Larin, Jonathan David, as well as experienced Hutchinson, Hoilett, and goalkeeper of Crvena Zvezda Borjan are now ready to play. The previous round of the qualification was successful for the Canadians. And they didn’t experience any problems with Haiti in June, having won twice (after which they reached the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup). But in September, the results are rather mediocre. Canada has not gained a single victory but also has not lost in this stage of the qualification. Losing in both matches against Honduras and the USA, the Reds leveled the score in the 2nd half, and both times Larin left his name on the scoreboard.

El Salvador even gained two promotions to the World Cup, but that was a long time ago. The last time the Blue-Whites achieved such a success was back in 1982. The same generation of the national team was among medalists at the CONCACAF Cup three times. But then the Salvadorians have never managed to go through the quarterfinal stage. They also reached it in the summer, beating Guatemala and Trinidad & Tobago in the group, but then they lost to Qatar. Visitors from the Middle East were winning 0-3, but then Joaquin Rivas Navarro scored a double. As for the current stage of the qualification, he has not managed to score yet, like the whole team. On the other hand, Mario Gonzalez does not concede: the 24-year-old Alianza goalkeeper was able to keep a clean sheet in the match against the US national team, with Giovanni Reyna, Dest, McKenny and other stars. Then he repeated this result in the game against the national team of Honduras.
Canada has a slight advantage in head-to-head matches, but El Salvador gained victory in the last game. But it was friendly and took place back in 2017. Canada seems to be stronger, but both teams seem to defend better than attack. We recommend betting on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
