While Canada beat bottom of the group Honduras 1-0, before drawing 0-0 against El Salvador, after not being able to capitalise on their chances.

A shock win in Vancouver in this game, would put Canada top of the group, although more realistically they’ll be focusing on a draw in this one. By the end of the month Canada’s 2018 World Cup chances will be clearer. Although it is partially out of their hands. Fellow Group A sides Honduras and El Salvador face each other this month, and will have as much baring on Canada’s chances of reaching the next round, as their own matches against Mexico can.

Canada will be hoping for draws in the two fixtures between Honduras and El Salvador, which would keep them in 2nd place, even in the instance they lost both fixtures to Mexico.

Mexico started their Group A group with a 3-0 victory over El Salvador at home, before heading to San Pedro Sula to beat Honduras 2-0, second half goals from Jesus Corona and Jurgen Damm making the difference. Yet to concede in the group round, Mexico will be feeling confident in their progression towards the 2018 World Cup.

A win against Canada in this one will see Mexico all but qualify for the Hexagon round. Leaving Canada, Honduras and El Salvador vying for second spot in the group. Mexico’s commitment to playing a full strength squad in the next round of fixtures in September, will have massive implications for the other 3 teams in the group.

This will be, by far, the highest-attended home World Cup qualifier in Canadian football history, but this will not mean much to Mexico who will be looking to secure their next round progression sooner rather than later. Goals will be on the agenda for this one. Get Over 2.5 goals at 1/1 with bet365.
