Canada vs Guadeloupe Prediction and Betting Tips | June 27th 2023

Canada will get their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign underway against Guadeloupe at BMO Field on Tuesday.

Canada are joint-hosts for the 2023 edition of the competition and find themselves alongside Cuba, Guatemala, and Guadeloupe in Group D. The visitors booked their place in the competition via the qualifying playoffs with a 2-0 win over Guyana earlier this week.

The hosts are in the finals of the Gold Cup for the 13th edition in a row and have made it to the knockout stage in their last three appearances. The visitors have qualified for the finals for just the fifth time and failed to make it past the group stage in their last two appearances.

The hosts faced the USA in the CONCACAF Nations League final last week, suffering a 2-0 defeat against their southern rivals.

The hosts have won three of their last four games but have suffered defeats in five of their last 10 games. They will have the home advantage for their campaign opener and will look to bounce back from their defeats in the Nations League final last week.

The Gwada Boys have looked solid in recent games and have scored seven goals without conceding in their last two games. They have suffered defeats in their last six games in the competition and might struggle here.

Considering Canada's home advantage and their better record in the competition than the visitors, we back them to eke out a narrow win.
