USA vs. Canada Prediction & Pick

A rematch of last month’s CONCACAF Nations League final is set to take place during the quarterfinals as the USMNT and Canada battle. The United States got the better of their opponent on June 18, winning by a score of 2-0. Manager Gregg Berhalter’s team is now 3-1-1 (W-D-L) in its last five matches against Canada.

There’s a lot to like about the trend of United States victories continuing on Sunday considering the country scored 13 goals during the group stage — including back-to-back hat tricks from FC Dallas striker Jesús Ferreira — and conceded only one. On the other side, Canada scored six goals and conceded four in an average effort. Momentum is clearly on the side of the Americans.

I’ll back the United States to get the job done here.

GOLD CUP FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: USMNT 2, Canada 0

USMNT vs. Canada Best Bet

Backing the Under is an enticing option as fewer than 2.5 goals have been scored in each of the last four matchups between the United States and Canada. However, USA’s offensive attack has found its groove, which makes siding with the Americans on the moneyline the best way to go. Canada played down to its competition in the group stage and that will not help it rise to a higher level on Sunday.

GOLD CUP QUARTERFINAL BEST BET: USA moneyline (-135)
