Canada's sample covers Guatemala 3-2, USA 0-1, Peru 2-0, Chile 1-0, Morocco 0-3. At least three total goals occurred in 2 of 5 games, both teams scored in 1, and 2 ended with a clean sheet.
Guatemala's tracked results cover Canada 2-3, Suriname 1-0, Suriname 0-0, El Salvador 6-0, Jamaica 2-3. At least three total goals occurred in 3 of 5 games, both teams scored in 2, and 1 ended without a goal scored.
The combined sample contains 10 matches and 29 total goals, with Guatemala 3-2 and Canada 2-3 as individual examples. Three or more goals occurred in 5 matches and both teams scored in 3; these are recorded-score frequencies, not proof of the next total.
On scoring output, Canada average 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match (6-6 aggregate), while Guatemala average 2.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match (11-6 aggregate). Those rates frame the total goals tempo read while keeping past scores secondary to the reference price.

For the goals market, the fixture-specific reference is 5 qualifying games from 10 results, including USA 0-1 and Suriname 1-0. That rate is weighed against opponent strength, lineup information, and the reference price instead of being presented as a guaranteed trend.
The case starts with two separate score sequences: Canada reached three total goals in 2 of 5 games, while Guatemala did so in 3 of 5; another sample slice is Peru 2-0 and Suriname 0-0. This is a starting point for checking tempo and lineups, not a forecast by itself.
On the Canada vs Guatemala board, total goals (around 65% raw implied probability before bookmaker margin) remains the primary analytical angle provided the reference snapshot does not shorten sharply.
