What another incredible season it has been for Jonthan David. He scored 24 goals in the 2022/23 Ligue 1 campaign, which means only the elite goal scoring figures of Kylian Mbappe and Alexandre Lacazette outscored him in France’s top flight.
David is also looking to get closer to Cyle Larin's all-time leading record of 28 goals for Canada, as he has 24 in just 40 games — no man in Canada history has a better goals-to-game ratio.
The Lille striker also scored two goals in Canada's two wins this year after bagging a goal against Honduras and Curacao in March. What’s more, after missing out on the Ligue 1 top scorer award by just three goals, he will be eager to get another finish for his country.
Jonathan David to score first is +350 with DraftKings Sportsbook.
Canada to Win
Canada is unbeaten in 2023 after a terrible three games at the World Cup saw it score just two goals and lose all three matches in Group F. Panama has also won two games in 2023. However, it has lost to Argentina and tied with Guatemala during this time.
These two wins also mean that Panama has won just three games in the past 10 since this time last year.
Canada to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 is +420 with FanDuel Sportsbook.
Both Teams to Score
In the 10 games that have gone by in the past year, Panama has only failed to score in two of those matches. The first was at Martinique and the other was at the world champions, Argentina.
It is also heading into this game after beating Nicaragua 3-2 last weekend and Panama also defeated Costa Rica in a game back in March.
What’s more, even in its only other loss in the past year, Panama still scored a goal in that 2-1 defeat to Qatar.
Both teams to score is +115 with DraftKings Sportsbook.
