Canada look to secure a spot in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals as they take on Honduras in the group stage finale in Toronto on Tuesday.
In the inaugural Nations League tournament four years ago, Canada were eliminated in this phase of the competition, but much has changed since that heavy final-day defeat to the USA left them out of contention on goal differential.
Canada are in the driver’s seat once again, but unlike against the USA, this time they’re heavily favored against Honduras. The Canadians only require a draw to advance, but they know victory is the only way to avoid a nervy finish.
If Canada win, they would advance to play Panama or Costa Rica, in the semifinals, forcing regional giants USA and Mexico to meet in the other semifinal. However, if Canada advance via a draw with Honduras, Les Rouges would meet the USA, while Mexico would play Panama or Costa Rica.
