Prediction: 1-1
Canada
There will be fireworks when USA and Canada go head to head at Nissan Stadium in the 2022 World Cup qualifier. The Yanks failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with El Salvador, but they are still seen as favourites to win Monday’s qualifier. Chelsea ace Christian Pulisic is rated doubtful for the match due to the lack of fitness, while goalkeeper Zack Steffen remains on the sidelines with injury.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Borussia Dortmund rising star Giovanni Reyna, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Canada, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Honduras in their opener. Star players David, Davies, and Larin are all expected to keep their place in the starting XI, and seeing that Christian Pulisic could miss the game for the hosts, the share of spoils is on the cards in Nashville.
Highlighted Player (Christian Pulisic):
Christian Pulisic is an American professional footballer who plays in the English Premier League with Chelsea. Born in Pennsylvania on the 18th of September, 1998, the talented midfielder joined Brackley Town's youth setup in 2005.

He then went on to score his first professional goal three months later in a 3-0 league win over Hamburger SV. Before joining English club Chelsea in 2018, Pulisic played a total of 4 seasons at Dortmund, three of which were as a full-time player and the last one on loan from the Blues.
The 21-year-old is now back at Chelsea for the 19/20 season and is currently on a contract that expires in 2024. Pulisic's club career honors include winning the 16/17 DFB Pokal with Dortmund.
