Last games
Curiously, two years ago they had their only Gold Cup meeting in the group stage, with the Maple Leafs winning by a score of 4-0. On that occasion, a brace by Jonathan David, along with goals by Junior Hoilett and Scort Arfield, sealed the victory.
Key player Martinique
Kevin Fourtuné is one of the most experienced players in this national team, as he plays in French soccer with Auxerre and for some time now he has been playing for Martinique because of his French affiliation. We will have to pay special attention to what the number 10 shirt can do.
Key player Canada
Lucas Cavallini is an old acquaintance of Mexico, having played with Puebla, and due to his height and physical strength he is a dangerous player in the air who can cause danger at any moment. He also plays well in the post, knows how to hold the ball and has good individual technique.

Martinique: As if it were their World Cup
It should be remembered that for many teams from the region, mainly from the Caribbean, the Gold Cup is as if it were their World Cup because they have the opportunity to be seen and face the powers of the region, since very few times they have been able to pull off a surprise to get into the definitive zones for a ticket to the World Cup, as happened in the qualifiers for Qatar 2022.
Canada: They are favorites
Due to the characteristics of the sector, Canada is listed as a favorite along with the United States to advance to the next round, however, they will have the great absence of Alphonso Davies. The Bayern Munich player suffered an ankle injury that forced him to miss this tournament and now he will be recovering in Germany.
Group play gets underway
Canada and Martinique will kick off Group B of the Gold Cup, which will also feature the United States and Haiti, which won its place in the reclassification round after defeating St. Vincent and Barbados.
Kick-off time
The Canada vs Martinique match will be played at the Sporting Park Stadium, in Kansas City, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 6:30pm ET.
