2022 World Cup qualifying continues in the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football and on the 30th of January we have a huge meeting between Canada and the United States.

The match will take place at Tim Hortons Field, Hamilton and the hosts begin this round of fixtures top of the group on 19 points while the visitors are in second on 18 points.

Canada come into the match on the back of a 2-0 victory in Honduras on Thursday. It took only 10 minutes for the Canadians to open the scoring and they doubled their advantage with 17 minutes of the game remaining. That result was good enough for Canada to open a 5 gap between themselves and Panama in fourth place.

The victory over Honduras means Canada have won each of their last 4 World Cup qualifying fixtures. They have defeated Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico, with all those wins coming at home.

The victory over Mexico was particularly impressive and Canada are currently on a run of 9 matches without defeat, all of which have come in World Cup qualifying.

Canada have a strong record when playing at home and they are undefeated in their last 23 home fixtures in all competitions.

They have won each of their last 4 home World Cup qualifying games and have scored 2 or more goals in 13 of their 15 most recent home matches.

United States make the trip to Tim Hortons Field having picked up a crucial 3 points thanks to a narrow 1-0 victory over El Salvador.

United States were the better team for much of the game and deserved to win but they struggled to find the back of the net, scoring the only goal just after half time.

That result means United States are undefeated in their last 5 fixtures in all competitions.

Four of those 5 games have come in World Cup qualifying and United States have beaten Costa Rica, Mexico, and El Salvador at home plus picked up a point in a 1-1 draw in Jamaica.

Away form in World Cup qualifying shows United States have been struggling to win games. They have recorded just a single victory in their 9 most recent away World Cup qualifying fixtures and that came in Honduras. Trends show both teams have scored in 6 of United States last 8 away World Cup qualifying matches.

Team news and Canada can call upon exciting striker Jonathan David and Cyle Larin, who plays for Besiktas in Turkey. However, they are missing pacey full-back Alphonso Davies, which is a blow.

United States are sweating over fitness of Weston McKennie and Sergiño Dest having picked up injuries towards the end of the win over El Salvador. Christian Pulisic is the main threat going forward for the visitors.

This should be a great game to watch between the two North American neighbours. Canada have been in fantastic form at home while United States tend to struggle on the road.

We could see just a single goal in what could be a tense game, with Canada taking maximum points.
