Canada Women vs Mexico Women Prediction
Canada had to work hard for their victory in the first friendly last week but eventually secured the win. The result was not an adequate reflection of the game, with the Mexicans besting the Olympic champions for large parts of the game.
Mexico will draw inspiration from their performance in the game as they aim to claim only a third win against the Canucks.
Canada are firm favorites here but will not underrate their opponents. There is a noticable gap in quality between the two sides and we are backing Bev Priestman's side to claim a comfortable win and clean sheet.
Prediction: Canada Women 3-0 Mexico Women
