Curacao Preview, Form and Standout Players

Curacao Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Room; Floranus, Eijma, Martina, Gaari; L. Bacuna, Comenencia; Antonisse, J. Bacuna, Margaritha; Kastaneer.

Curacao, as mentioned were held by El Salvador in their opening game for this tournament, leaving them needing at least one win from their last games. The tiny Netherlands colony has a population of just shy of 150,000 people. Despite this, their incredible run into the third round of World Cup qualifying has everyone looking their way. Drawn in a group with Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica and Bermuda, if they top it, they will seal a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The tiny island, just off the north coast of Venezuela keep surprising everyone, and a strong performance here could see an upset on the cards. Driven by former Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat, and powered recently by Gervane Kastaneer, they can set off shockwaves over North America with a result on Sunday.

Canada Preview, Form and Standout Players

Canada Predicted Lineup (4-4-2): St. Clair; Laryea, Waterman, Miller, Sigur; Ahmed, Choiniere, Saliba, Buchanan; David, Oluwaseyi.

Jesse Marsch’s squad put on a 5-star display in their opener against Honduras, with five players finding the net. Games have been few and far between, having gained automatic qualification to the World Cup next summer, and suffered just one competitive loss since getting knocked out of the Copa America by Uruguay last summer.

An excellent performance will only boost confidence even more for this side, with both Promise and Jonathan David on the scoresheet, and Villarreal Tajon Buchanan netting a brace.

Head-to-head Comparison

These sides have met just three times in history, and unsurprisingly all three have gone the way of The Reds.
