International Friendly: USA vs Canada Offshore Odds, Preview, and Picks (Sep 7)

New eras are underway for both the USA and Canada, and we will likely learn more about their potential World Cup aspirations this weekend when the nations collide in Kansas City. The American national team will likely have Mauricio Pochettino in the stands on Saturday ahead of his official appointment.

Before Betting On USA vs Canada

It hasn’t been the best year on the field for the USA, but they will be hoping to build momentum this weekend with just two years to go before the start of the World Cup. Mauricio Pochettino’s appointment hasn’t yet been formally announced, but the former Tottenham and PSG boss will likely be in the stands for the showdown this weekend.

America will be hoping to recover after enduring a miserable campaign at the Copa America during the summer. The national side won just once in their three matches, as they exited the tournament in the opening round. That run of results also means that the USA have now won just once in their last five matches since winning the Nations League earlier this year against Mexico.

It was a different story for Canada earlier in the summer at the Copa America, as Jesse Marsch led the team through to the semi-final stage before falling to Argentina. Canada’s only defeats in regulation time were suffered against the reigning world champions, while they also failed to secure third spot after losing on penalties against Uruguay.

But, it is clear to see that strides in the right direction have been made since Marsch’s appointment. Canada have already been competitive against highly-ranked nations this year, which also includes a draw against France before the start of the Copa America.

Both of these nations will be fine tuning their squads ahead of the World Cup in 2026. However, Canada appear to be further along the line of progression under Marsch, meaning that they are preferred to land victory in Kansas City this weekend.
