Canada vs Haiti prediction, preview, team news and more
Canada will look to finish the job against Haiti and qualify for the final round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when the sides meet for the second leg on Tuesday.
The game will take place at SeatGreek Stadium in Illinois, United States.
Les Rouges drew first blood on Saturday night as Cyle Larin’s early strike was enough to secure a crucial 1-0 away victory. The Canadians now enter the decisive clash next week on the frontfoot.
However, the Caribbean outfit should not be taken lightly this coming week, as they hit back stronger in the second half. Haiti produced some dangerous counter-attacks which forced Canadian keeper Milan Borjan into vital saves.
John Herdman’s side will be preparing for their opponents’ counterattacking efforts in the upcoming clash as Haiti seek to mount a comeback.
Canada vs Haiti Head-To-Head
Canada have a vastly superior record in this fixture with eight victories against Haiti out of 12 games, losing only twice.
However, the Bicolor will be seeking inspiration from their stunning 3-2 win over Canada at the 2019 Gold Cup.

Canada vs Haiti Team News
Canada
Head coach Herdman will have very few complaints after his side’s first-leg victory. However, Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David were uncharacteristically quiet and will be expected to find their shooting boots soon.
Lucas Cavallini, who came off the bench in the game, is pushing to start in the second leg. That might be the only change we see in the Canadian lineup from the previous game.
Injured: None

Haiti
Head coach Jean Jacques Pierre raised eyebrows last week by leaving top scorer Duckens Nazon on the bench. It robbed his team of attacking flair as they only looked dangerous when he was on the field.
He’ll be looking to correct that mistake in the second leg while also having Mikael Cantave back from a suspension.
