My analysis
On the heels of an impressive Copa America debut, Canada has played two friendlies against the United States and Mexico, which have returned some positive results.
A 2-1 win away to the USA is a great result in a game where they bossed possession, goal attempts, and xGF. The defense held firm — which was always going to be the big question mark for a team that was unable to keep the opposition out during the business end of the Copa America tournament.
Canada followed up that win with a drab 0-0 draw at home to Mexico. This was a game that was always going to test Canada's defensive efforts, and they passed the test with El Tri registering only three shots on target.
Given Canada's current form, I believe the defense will once again shine tonight against a Panama side that's not done much scoring of late. Panama enter this contest with back-to-back defeats to nil, including a 2-0 loss to the same U.S. side the Canadians beat.
Canada is expected to field a strong starting XI in front of their home crowd and I don't believe Panama will be able to crack the Canadian defense. Historically, these two teams have played Under 2.5 goals in seven of the last eight head-to-heads.
At EVEN money, this is a great price to take the Under.
