USA vs Canada Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | International Friendlies 2024

This International Friendly will be played out in Kansas City.

After a disappointing outing in the recently concluded edition of Copa America, USA will be eyeing a comeback when they take to the field against their neighbours Canada come Sunday. The USMNT will return to action for the first time since their embarrassing exit from Copa America 2024 group stages. They were shown the exit door by Panama and Uruguay.

Standing in their way in this friendly will be a high-flying Canadian side that won everyone’s heart at the tournament (Copa America 2024). Canada surpassed all expectations and finished fourth on their debut while defeating the likes of Peru and Venezuela. The Reds will be keen to improve their record against their arch-rivals in the upcoming game.

Players to watch

Christian Pulisic (USA)

Skipper Christian Pulisic will have a crucial role to play in the game against Canada. Known for his dribbling, pace and finishing abilities, Pulisic is one of the finest ever produced in the United States. The former Chelsea player has already scored 30 goals for his national team and will be eyeing his 31st against Canada on Sunday. 

Jonathan David (Canada)

The Lille forward was among the top shining players for Canada at the 2024 Copa America. He has already found the back of the net 28 times in 54 games and is just one short of becoming the joint-highest record goalscorer for the Reds. His anchor play, finishing and superb goal-scoring instincts make him an important asset for Canada.
