Canada and Mexico meet on Thursday with a spot in the Nations League final on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> It’s hard for me to pick a side between two nations that have been so tightly contested over the past few years. I do feel good about both teams scoring, though, and that’s my best bet for this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the best Canada vs. Mexico predictions for the men’s soccer semifinal match on March 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to full Canada vs. Mexico betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Both teams to score (-118)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the history between these two nations, there have been a lot of goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not think so after the last meeting in September of 2024 was a stalemate 0-0 draw. However, that was only a friendly so I’ll choose to side with the previous results that meant something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before that match, the last four games between Canada and Mexico had a goal from both sides. The 11 total goals mean almost three were being scored per match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That data dates back to 2019 which is when Canada began to gain relevancy on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico scored just one goal in Copa but its offence improved after, scoring in five of eight matches since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Young striker Santiago Gimenez has recently broken onto the scene, setting a record for most goals in one Champions League run by any Mexican player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had six goals in seven games for Italian side AC Milan. It’s his first meaningful call-up and he adds a new threat to the Mexican attack \u2014 and a dangerous one at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Canada went on a run at Copa America, reaching the semis and has scored in every match but one since. That was the outing vs. Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nations League soccer pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Match to end in a draw (+220)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong> With odds like this, I’d only play half a unit, but I think a 1-1 draw is well within the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There hasn’t been much separating the two nations as two of the last three matches ended in a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada’s been in better form but this will be closer to a home match for Mexico, who gets to play in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a semifinal match so the lights will be bright and the players will be satisfied with playing mistake-free soccer and pushing this to extra time if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that case, this wager would cash as it only applies to the 90 minutes of full time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also covers another 0-0 draw in case these sides have simply figured each other out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
