Best Bet: Mexico in regular time

While Canada hasn’t been terrible in this tournament, Mexico has been the clear favorite from the beginning and is easily favored to win this game. Rogelio Funes Mori leads the team with three goals through just four games played and he’ll be expected to be a big part going forward against Canada’s defense. It may be a close affair, but Mexico should come out on top in 90 minutes.
