Ahead of Thursday’s game, insights are available from SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green. A seasoned sports betting industry professional who transitioned to sports writing and handicapping, Green has a proven track record in soccer predictions. His successful picks last year included Euro qualifying, EFL Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League matches.
For the Canada vs. Mexico game, Green predicts under 2.5 goals will be scored. He highlights Canada’s strong team, featuring Jonathan David and Alphonso Davies, and emphasizes their solid defense, demonstrated by their recent victory over Suriname and low goals conceded in recent matches.
Mexico possesses significant attacking talent with players like Raúl Jiménez and Santiago Giménez. However, Green points out Mexico’s past struggles with attacking creativity, as seen in matches against Venezuela and Ecuador in the previous Copa America.
Green suggests that both teams will prioritize avoiding defeat, potentially leading to a closely contested and cautious match.
