In the last eight meetings between Mexico and Honduras, one of the teams has always failed to score. Mexico has not lost to Honduras at home for more than ten years. The last time Mexico lost was in September 2013, which was also the last time Honduras scored against Mexico on their home turf.
Mexico is unbeaten in their last five home games, while Honduras has been inconsistent. In their last ten matches, Honduras has won twice, lost four times, and drawn four times.
Probable lineups
- Mexico: Ochoa; Sanchez, Reyes, Montes, Gallardo; Alvarez, Romo; Vega, Jimenez, Huerta; Sepulveda
- Honduras: Menjívar; Najar, Maldonado, Vega, Rosales; Rivas, Flores, Pineda, Palma; Rodriguez, Castillo
Prediction
Mexico lost the first game to Honduras 0-2, but they have an excellent home record against them. They are clear favorites, and Mexico will push forward aggressively. They need goals, so my bet is on Mexico’s individual total of over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.5.
