Canada vs Cuba Prediction & Pick
Canada was the favored team against both Guatemala and Gudeloupe, which makes the fact that each match ended in a draw quite frustrating. The good news is Canada has one more chance to prove its power against a Cuba team it has taken down in each of the last five head-to-head clashes.
Those five contests ended in an aggregate score of 18-0, so seeing an upset by head coach Pablo Sanchez's team would be shocking to say the least. Look for Canada to use motivation from those draws as well as a loss in the CONCACAF Nations League final to crush Cuba on Tuesday evening.
I'll back Canada with confidence here as Cuba has shown no reason to be trusted at this point.
Final Score Prediction:'Canada: 3 | Cuba: 0

Canada vs Cuba Best Bet
Cuba's only goal across two Gold Cup matches has come via a penalty kick and the team has only racked up three shots on target in that span. The offense has simply been lacking and now it has to go up against a Canadian defense that has conceded just five goals in its last six matches. Two of Canada's three wins in that span have come with a clean sheet, too. Expect more of the same here.
