Tip and bets
Americans won three out of four most recent head-to-head matches, they were beaten at home by their neighbours for the most recent time in 1957. USA national team have a better squad, plus they are way more experienced than their opponents. After a slip-up in the first game they will be extremely motivated to play aggressively in the match against Canada.
We think that home team will lead the game and they will be able to record a home victory and pick up three points.
Our prediction - USA to win
Head-to-head matches are usually low-scoring. In the first round teams showed that they have some problems in the offensive game, Americans are in the desperate need of three points, so they will probably turn their attention to defense. The outcome of the game will probably be decided by one or two goals.
Our second bet is on total under 2.5 goals
