One of the most important national team tournaments in CONCACAF begins. Most teams use this tournament to continue their qualifying rounds for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. This time we are in group B, which comprises the national teams from the United States, Canada, Martinique, and Haiti. Both teams want to get in tune for the qualifiers to put into practice their different plays, both defensive and offensive.
The first day of the Gold Cup will be played by the national teams of Martinique and Canada this Sunday, July 11, 2021, at Sporting Park, in Kansas City.
How do Canada and Martinique arrive?
Canada comes to this Gold Cup with the conviction to show that its football has progressed in recent years and that, in a short time, their faces could be seen in front of a team from the United States or Mexico. Canada has won 6 of their last 6 games. The most impressive thing is that they have scored 31 goals in this period and only 1 against, so Canada shows that it has a perfect combination of attack and defense.
Canada has just defeated the Haitian national team in its last game, in the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying rounds, with an excellent result of 3-0. In this match, the Canadians were far superior to a Haitian team who managed to shoot at the goal only 1 time during the match.

On the other hand, we have the Caribbean team of Martinique, who come to this Gold Cup hungry to start doing things right for the qualifiers for the next World Cup, after Qatar 2022, since they have no chance to go to the next world cup. The last match that Martinique won was in 2019 when they beat Cuba with a 3-0 result.
The last match played by Martinique was the one corresponding to the 2019 CONCACAF Nations League, when they drew 1-1 against the Honduran team.

Betting line for Canada vs. Martinique Gold Cup.
This Gold Cup will demonstrate the level at which the different CONCACAF participating teams are, who have been on hiatus and watching from home what happened in South America and Europe, in the Copa America and Eurocup, respectively. We believe that Martinique will have very little chance to score even 1 goal against Canada, so we predict a comfortable 3-0 win for Canada (and there could be more).
