The Canadians are in better shape than the Americans, especially at home. They're scoring at a high rate and have a strong head-to-head record versus El Salvador. Canada will most likely win this Thursday at BMO Field.
They then went on to win Group B in the first round of Qualifiers, and they had a perfect record in the process. They also had a cumulative score of 27-1 throughout this span.
Surprisingly, the four other teams in the group combined to score a total of 27 goals during the season. The Canadians followed that up with a 4-0 aggregate triumph over Haiti in the second round.
Canada is also higher in the FIFA rankings, and they have dominated this opponent in head-to-head matches in the past. As a result, expect them to win.
El Salvador, on the other hand, is not a small fish. They, too, finished first in Group A in the first round, with a 6-0 aggregate score in the second round.
In addition, they have consistently found the back of the net in one-on-one meetings. For these reasons, expect the BTTS gamble to pay off handsomely.
In the last four years, the Canadians have only lost once at home. In reality, they had won 11 of their previous 13 home games, scoring a total of 45 goals in their previous 12 appearances.
Their opponents, on the other hand, had lost three of their previous four road trips and were winless in eight of their previous ten games.
