Team Reviews
Canada
Canada, coached by Jesse Marsch, leads Group B with 4 points after a 6-0 rout of Honduras on June 17, 2025, at BC Place, Vancouver, and a 1-1 draw with Curaçao on June 21, 2025, at Shell Energy Stadium, Houston, where Nathan Saliba scored their fastest-ever Gold Cup goal (2:07). Their form shows 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five competitive matches, averaging 2.6 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded per game. Key players include forward Jonathan David, with 34 international goals, and Saliba, who has 2 tournament goals. Canada’s strengths are their attacking depth (despite Alphonso Davies’ ACL injury) and home support, with Ali Ahmed and Jayden Nelson shining on the wings. However, their draw against Curaçao exposed finishing issues (12 shots, 3 on target), and Jonathan Osorio’s lower-body injury weakens their midfield. A draw or win ensures quarter-final qualification, likely as group winners unless Honduras wins big against Curaçao.
El Salvador
El Salvador, known as La Selecta and coached by Hernan “Bolillo” Gómez, is last in Group B with 1 point after a 0-0 draw with Curaçao on June 17, 2025, in San Jose, and a 2-0 loss to Honduras on June 21, 2025, in Houston, with goals from Romell Quioto and Dixon Ramírez. Their form includes 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last five, averaging 0.4 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded. Key players include defender Alexander Larín, their leader in caps and goals, and forward Brayan Gil, yet to score in the tournament. El Salvador’s strengths are their defensive grit (0 goals conceded vs. Curaçao) and experience, with Darwin Cerén hitting 100 caps. However, their goalless campaign and reliance on inexperienced players make a shock win unlikely. They need a 5+ goal victory and a Honduras-Curaçao draw to advance.
Head-to-Head
Canada and El Salvador have met 19 times, with Canada leading 10-5-4. In the Gold Cup, Canada won 1-0 in 2009 (Ali Gerba, 32’) and drew 0-0 in 2015. Canada dominated recent World Cup qualifiers, winning 3-0 in 2021 (Atiba Hutchinson, Jonathan David, Tajon Buchanan) and 2-0 in 2022 (Hutchinson, David). Matches are low-scoring, with 60% under 2.5 goals, favoring Canada’s defensive edge.
Prediction: Canada 3-0 El Salvador
This Group B finale on June 24, 2025, at Shell Energy Stadium, Houston, at 10:00 PM ET (9:00 PM local time), sees Canada as heavy favorites to secure a quarter-final spot. Canada’s attacking firepower, led by David and supported by Saliba, should overwhelm El Salvador’s defense, which struggled against Honduras. El Salvador’s Larín and Gil may create chances, but their scoring drought (0 goals in 2 games) and need for a 5+ goal win make advancement near-impossible. Posts on X highlight Canada’s confidence despite their Curaçao draw and El Salvador’s slim hopes, with coach Gómez planning lineup changes. Canada’s trends (60% of last 5 over 2.5 goals) contrast with El Salvador’s (20%), but Canada’s form and historical dominance suggest a comfortable win. Referee César Ramos may issue cards if El Salvador’s physicality escalates. The match streams on Fubo, FS1, and FOX Sports.
Canada is likely to score through David and Saliba, while El Salvador’s attack falters. Canada’s depth and home advantage should secure a convincing victory, topping Group B, while El Salvador exits the tournament.
