USA U20 vs Cuba U20 Prediction and Betting Tips | 2022 CONCACAF U20 Championship

USA U20 and Cuba U20 lock horns at the Estadio Nacional in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on Wednesday to decide the winner of Group E.

Both teams have qualified for the knockout stages but Cuba lead their rivals from the north by two points.

Pablo Elier Sánchez side boast a 100% win record in the competition so far after winning both their group matches, starting off by overcoming Canada 1-0 before smashing Saint Kitts and Nevis for a six.

A draw would be enough for them to clinch the group.

USA, the two-time defending champions, opened their campaign with a stunning 10-0 demolition of Saint Kitts and Nevis that saw eight players get on the scoresheet. However; they were unable to build on that momentum as Canada held them to a 2-2 draw on matchday two.

CMNT U20: Canada had the lead twice, but draw 2-2 with the USA in the second match of the Concacaf U20 Championships.

Canada will need a win v St. Kitts and Nevis, and will likely have to look at advancing in third place if they do.

A win would have done wonders. https://t.co/8OIyb3A37S

This has left the side trailing Cuba by two points and they must win in order to progress as group winners.

A defeat would open up a chance for Canada to overthrow them in second place, although the staggering goal difference between them (USA +10, Canada -1) means the Reds can only qualify from third place at best.
