The winner of the second CONCACAF Nations League tie will be decided on Monday night. Canada and the USA will be drawn. The Americans showed very high quality football in an emotional clash with the hosts. The Mexicans were thrashed 3-0. The result was a solid one. Team USA continues to progress after a successful World Cup, where they made the play-offs. Christian Pulisic once again proved to be the national team's leader against Mexico. The Chelsea reserve player sealed his brace with a double. The American attacking line-up looks threatening, given their age and potential. Musa, Balogun, Reina, Vea - all high-class players, but under 25 years old. There is no such concentration of rising stars in defence, but Mexico were able to contain by a wide margin. The match was also marked by several scuffles. This seriously beats the Americans' line-up for the final. Dest and McKeny will miss the match. The experienced Juventus midfielder is a systematic player for the US national team's pressing. There is also no equivalent replacement for Deste. Canada did without such emotion in their semi-final. "The Maple Leafs beat Panama by a margin. At the same time, the opponents had plenty of chances. The save by goalkeeper Borjan saved them from trouble. Canada also have enough star players in their squad. That said, the quality of their squad is inferior to that of the Americans. The weak point is a very slow defense, no players of a high level in the centre of the pitch. The important thing is the return of our star defender Davies. The Bayern player plays a more attacking role in the national team, which showed perfectly against Panama. Alfonso scored a beautiful near corner goal from outside the box. The upside for Canada is the enormous motivation for the historic title and the lack of penalties. The team has had the same line-up for several years without major changes. The history of recent head-to-head encounters suggests a total of less. The teams have only broken the total once in a span of nine matches. In this regard, bookmakers give abnormally high odds on the top total. We can take advantage of that. The encounter is sure to be an emotional one, with the two teams' offensive lines clearly stronger than their defensive ones. In addition, the United States will be hampered by a number of disqualifications. Canada, meanwhile, will have plenty of opportunities to capitalise on their chances. Nor is there any timidity towards the Americans. In their last two matches in World Cup qualifying, Canada have not lost to the USA.
