Canada hosts Mexico in round 8 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 17th at Commonwealth Stadium (Edmonton)
The Canadians are definitely much stronger in hockey. In football/soccer, they have been obvious outsiders for a long time. Participation in the group round of the 1986 World Cup remained the only result at this level. Experienced Atiba Hutchinson was only born at that time. But now the leading roles are played by such young talents as Alfonso Davis and Jonathan David and a little older Kyle Larin. In the summer, this team played in the semifinals of the Golden Cup. And this fall, the Canadians did not lose. They gained four draws (including with Mexico and the United States0 and three victories. As a result, they are deservedly taking 3rd place in the current standings. And if Canada keeps it, it will go to the World Cup!

Mexico is undoubtedly one of the strongest national teams in this region. By and large, there is only one competitor for the leading status in North America — the USA. After the Mexican national team was banned in 1990, it went to seven consecutive World Cups and made it to the 1/8 finals (however, it couldn’t gain a higher achievement). The men of Gerardo Martino started this stage of qualification very well: four victories and two draws. But in the last round, the Americans confidently defeated their neighbors at home with a score of 2-0. And if we consider that the Mexicans suffered a 2-3 defeat from Ecuador in a friendly match before that, one can already begin to assume that they are on the decline. But they will try to knock these statements down in the upcoming game against their direct competitors.
Canada beat Mexico back in 1976, and it was the only such success in history. And before a 1-1 draw in October, the Tricolors had five victories in a row, including in July in the semifinals of the Golden Cup (2-1 in favor of Martino's charges). Canada now looks like a serious opponent and will put up a fight. We recommend betting on Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
