Today, both teams are playing not only for the outcome of the match but also for the leadership of CONCACAF, a confederation in which Canada has been the most dominant team, far ahead of Mexico, which used to be known as the "CONCACAF Giant". 

USMNT vs Canada: Predictions and Odds for Today's match

Predictions and odds point to the United States as the national team that will win today, according to the specialized website Sports Mole.

According to their calculations, the USMNT will win today and according to SportsBook Wire, the possible outcome of the match is already known.

USMNT vs Canada: what is the likely score of the match?

According to the aforementioned pages, USMNT will win with a score of 2-0, so things look complicated for the team coached by John Herdman.

If this result holds with the score of the match, then CONCACAF will have a new "Giant", and that could be the team coached by Gregg Berhalter. 

What are the predictions and odds on the USMNT's possible victory over Canada?

Sports Book Wire is blunt in pointing out that the odds are in favor of the USMNT as they have the -165 in their favor in the betting, which indicates that Christian Pulisic's team has a clear advantage and will be able to win without any problems. 

On the other hand, Canada's national soccer team has a +410 odds, which indicates that they are the team with the lowest probability of winning the match. 

But if this were to happen, it would break the predictions and would also maintain the Maple Leafs' leadership in the competition. 

The case of a draw was also taken into account by these specialized websites and there is a +265 in case both teams end up tied, so Canada could continue to lead CONCACAF.

What factors could influence the USMNT vs Canada?

The most important factor is that of absences and those of the North American team so far are the ones that would weigh the most.

For example, in recent days it was confirmed that Berhalter would not be able to count on Timothy Weah who could not enter Canada because, according to the country's health guidelines, the player does not have the complete anti-COVID-19 vaccination schedule. 

Undoubtedly the most sensitive loss for Canada is that of Alphonso Davies, a player who was diagnosed with myocarditis that has not only prevented him from participating in the World Cup Qualifiers. 

The heart injury is putting the player's future career in doubt, as he must first recover before Bayern Munich and the U.S. national team can field him again. 

And despite his absence, the Maple Leafs still have strong players in their ranks, such as Tajon Buchanan and Jonathan David.

And with these players in their backfield, the Canadian team can give U.S. goalkeeper Matt Turner some headaches.
