Best bet
Canada halftime/fulltime (-138): Canada was well prepared for this year’s Gold Cup.
Les Rouges played two exhibition matches in the Canadian Shield earlier in June. They beat Ukraine, 4-2, and lost to Ivory Coast on penalties.
Canada was particularly strong against Ukraine, starting its best available 11 and going up 3-0 before half.
Both of those nations (No. 21 and No. 41) are significantly better than any team in Canada’s group for this tournament, all of which sit at No. 75 or lower in the FIFA rankings.
Honduras, which Canada just battered 6-0, is the highest ranked of the bunch.
Curacao is the lowest-ranked nation in the group (No. 91), so I certainly don’t expect a step up in competition for the second game.
For this wager to cash, Canada needs to be leading at halftime and at the final whistle.
The side scored two first-half goals against Honduras before adding four more by the end of the match.
If Les Rouges can replicate that early success vs. Curacao, holding out a lead should be no problem against an inferior opponent.
When these two nations last played in 2023, Canada went up 2-0 before half and held onto that score for the win.
Key stat: Canada has won seven matches in a row across all competitions when leading after 45 minutes
