Canada vs El Salvador prediction
Former Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has done an excellent job in charge of Canada. They began their CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage campaign with a 6-0 annihilation of Honduras before then sharing a 1-1 draw with Curacao the other day, with Curacao scoring an equaliser deep into second-half stoppage-time.
They now face an El Salvador side that have collected a solitary point from their opening two matches in Group C. The Central Americans began their campaign with a goalless draw against the aforementioned Curacao before then being beaten by two goals to nil against Honduras a few days’ ago.
El Salvador have struggled and are on the verge of their elimination being confirmed and that is to be expected with a comfortable Canadian victory in Houston.
