This is more than a friendly match considering the rivalry between these two nations. I believe the USA have a deeper roster, while home court advantage should also make the difference.
Key Stats
- USA have won 7 of their last 10 matches.
- Canada have lost 2 of their last 5 matches.
Stars and Stripes Lead H2H
These two rivals locked horns 45 times so far and the United States have a 19-15 advantage in terms of victories.
Red-Hot USA
After their disappointing exit at the World Cup 2026 in the Round of 16, USA played three friendly games and won on all three occasions.
This positive run started with a 4-1 victory against Peru in Orlando in late September, followed by a 4-2 win against Chile. Julian Hall and Sebastian Berhalter appeared on the scoresheet on both occasions.
The Stars and Stripes made it three in a row last weekend, taking down Mexico 3-0 in Glendale. Hall broke the deadlock early, while Cavan Sullivan and Malik Tillman found the net in the second half.
Canada Looking Solid After the WC
Like their upcoming opponents, Canada were also eliminated at the WC 2026 Round of 16, then were victorious in recent international friendlies.
Jesse March's side gained an early lead against Chile last week through Jonathan David, then missed a lot of chances to make this victory more convincing after the opposition had two players sent off (won 1-0).
Les Rogues had another strong first half against Peru last weekend, Jacob Shaffelburg scoring a brace after 35 minutes to secure a 2-0 victory in Montreal.
