Betting Insights
- Canada should win this game and can be backed to do just that at 1.7.
- BTTS No at 1.82 looks very high for a clash in which the styles of these two sides would suggest that one could be kept at arm's length.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 is a line that seems to suit a game that could be tight and tactical.
Prediction
- Canada will get the edge because of their press, pace and superior end product, but we're expecting a low-scoring game and like the Canadian side to nick it.
- They are likely to set the tone in Los Angeles and Jesse Marsch's men will come out on top.
