Canada vs Guatemala predictions: A low-scoring affair
Key stats
- Three of Canada's last four matches went below the 2.5-goal line.
- Canada are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Guatemala (W4, D1).
- At least one team failed to score in eight consecutive clashes between these teams.
Correct score prediction: Canada 2-0 Guatemala
Canada have had an impressive campaign so far, scoring nine goals in three group matches while conceding only once. The Canucks have been solid defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last four matches across all competitions.
Interestingly, Canada also did not concede a single goal in their last five meetings with Guatemala. Given that they won four of those encounters, we are confident that the 2000 Gold Cup champions will win to nil.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Canada are odds-on favourites
- HOME: 7/20 (1.35) – 74.1%
- DRAW: 18/5 (4.60) – 21.7%
- AWAY: 7/1 (8.00) – 12.5%

We have also pointed out that fewer than three goals were scored in three of Canada's last four matches. Keeping in mind that two of Guatemala's three games in this competition went below the 1.5-goal line, under 2.5 total goals has an appealing look at 11/10 (2.10). That one has a 47.6% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: Business as usual for Canada?
The last time Canada lost to Guatemala was during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in August 2004. Since then, the Canucks have won four of five encounters between these sides, keeping five consecutive clean sheets in the process.

Canada preview: No injury concerns
Canada advanced to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a 2-0 victory over nine-man El Salvador in an ill-tempered last group game.
Captain Jonathan David and Tajon Buchanan scored in the second half of that contest at Shell Energy Stadium to ensure that Canada finished as Group B leaders on seven points. Both players could again prove pivotal in this matchup against Guatemala.
It has been 25 years since the Canucks last won the Gold Cup, and they have reached the last four only once in the previous eight editions. With high expectations on the shoulders of this crop of players, going past the quarterfinals would be seen as a massive improvement.
Predicted lineup: Crepeau (GK), Johnston, Fougerolles, Cornelius, Laryea, Sigur, Choiniere, Buchanan, Shaffelburg, J. David & P. David.

Guatemala preview: Eyeing their first semifinal appearance since 1996
Guatemala secured their place in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarter-final as they held off a spirited Guadeloupe side in their last group game to earn a thrilling 3-2 win in a clash characterised by defensive lapses from both sides.
Los Chapines will enter this encounter as the underdogs, but they will strongly fancy their chances of taking the game to the Canadians.
The 1967 Gold Cup champions suffered elimination at this stage during the 2023 edition and are determined to make amends this time, even with the odds against them.
Predicted lineup: Hagen (GK), Ardon, Samayoa, Pinto, Herrera, Munoz, Marroquin, Robles, Lemus, Rubin & Escobar.

Player to watch: Rubio Rubin
Rubio Rubin put in a man-of-the-match performance in Guatemala's 3-2 victory over Guadeloupe, as his goal and assist helped secure a quarterfinal spot for his country. The Charleston Battery forward will look to score in back-to-back international games for the first time since June 2024.
