Canada
The home side are coming into this game on the back of a six-match unbeaten run and they will fancy their chances against an inconsistent Mexico side here.
They have a very poor head to head record against the Mexicans and this is a golden opportunity for Canada to make amends.
Canada are still unbeaten in the World Cup qualifiers and they will fancy their chances of picking up all three points here.
Possible Canada starting line-up
Milan Borjan; Richie Laryea, Steven Vitória, Kamal Miller, Alistair Johnston; Mark-Anthony Kaye, Stephen Eustaquio; Tajon Buchanan, Alphonso Davies, Liam Millar; Jonathan David
Mexico
The visitors have an exceptional head to head record against Canada but they are coming into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats against Ecuador and the United States. They will have to improve immensely in order to grind out a win away from home.
The two sides are separated by just one point and a win here for either side could help them climb to the top of the standings provided the other results go their way.
Possible Mexico starting line-up
Guillermo Ochoa; Luís Rodríguez, Héctor Moreno, Jesús Gallardo, Jesus Dominguez; Héctor Herrera, Andres Guardardo, Luis Romo; Jesús Corona, Raúl Jiménez, Hirving Lozano
Prediction
Canada 1-0 Mexico
