Curacao v Canada is set for June 22, 2025, at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas. Fans in Italy, Germany, France, and Spain can tune in at 01:00 CEST, while viewers in the UK can catch kick-off at 00:00 BST.
This is a crucial Group B encounter in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. A win for Canada would see them become the first Group B side to clinch a place in the quarter-finals, while Curacao will be desperate to record a positive result and keep their hopes alive.
How are both teams coming into this?
Canada have started their Gold Cup campaign with clear intentions. After a solid performance in their opener, they head into this match full of confidence and with an opportunity to secure early qualification. The team’s organized defense and efficient attack have been key so far, and they’ll look to maintain that balance at Shell Energy Stadium.
Curacao, meanwhile, arrive as underdogs. They faced a tough test in their opening match and will need to raise their game if they are to challenge Canada. The Caribbean side will aim to use their home-match atmosphere—albeit in Houston—to galvanize their play and spring a surprise.
Our forecast
We expect Canada to control large portions of the match, utilizing their superior possession and tactical discipline. Their ability to transition quickly from defense to attack should unlock Curacao’s rearguard on multiple occasions.
That said, Curacao will likely sit deep and look to hit on the counter, making the game trickier than some anticipate. Our prediction is a 2-0 victory for Canada, enough to see them advance but not without a few nervy moments.
