Mexico vs Canada Prediction
El Tri produced a dominant display in their friendly last week, returning to winning ways after two games. Interestingly, they are winless in their last two meetings against Les Rouges, scoring one goal apiece, and will look to improve upon that record.
Javier Aguirre got his third spell as the team's manager underway with a win and will hope to continue that momentum in this match. Julián Quiñones and Luis Chávez were subbed off with minor injuries against New Zealand and might be rested for this match.
The Reds continued their impressive run from the Copa America last week as they overcame USA 2-1. Jonathan David had a goal and an assist to his name in that match and is expected to lead the lineup in this match as well.
One change that is expected from Jesse Marsch in this match is replacing Alistair Johnston, who was injured in the first half and has left the training camp. Sam Adekugbe has been called up as his replacement.
Both teams put up solid performances last week and will look to continue that form here. Nonetheless, considering El Tri's dominance in this fixture, Mexico are expected to record a narrow win.
