Preview
It seems likely that the teams in Group A will end the first stage of the competition in their current order, with Mexico in a prime position to finish the round with a perfect record.
El Tri have scored 10 goals and conceded just one in their two group games, and captain Andres Guardado came up with arguably the pick of the bunch during Wednesday's 3-0 win over Canada, with FreeSports sharing footage:
Martinique beat Cuba 3-0 on Matchday 2 to at least get some points on the board, but given the seven-time Gold Cup winners are next up, it's probable they have reached the limit of their tally.
This is Les Matinino's sixth time competing at the Gold Cup, and the only time they managed to make it out of the group stage was in 2002.
There was a theme of captains scoring on Matchday 2 in Group A, and Martinque's Stephane Abaul will be looking to add to his strike in the 3-0 win over Cuba. Footage shared by Fox Soccer (U.S. only):
Cuba remain without any points in Group A and have the slimmest hopes of advancing to the next stage, like they managed in 2015 and 2017.
The team was also rocked by the news that captain Yasmani Lopez defected following their loss to Mexico, per ESPN FC's Tom Marshall:
The defender's absence contributed to the defeat to Martinique, and it seems improbable that they will turn around their form enough to beat John Herdman's men.
Canada have multiple scoring threats, including Cardiff City winger Junior Hoilett and Gent attacker Jonathan David, who was on the scoresheet in their 4-0 hammering of Martinique on Matchday 1 (footage U.S. only):
Cuba have a goal difference of minus-10—eight worse than any other team's tally in Group A—and would need to overturn that disadvantage against Canada in order to stand a chance of progressing.
