Mexico and Honduras will meet in the second leg of the quarter finals of the CONCACAF Nations League League A. In the first match, the Honduras team won an unexpected victory with a score of 2:0 and now they face an extremely difficult return match against the Mexicans, and even away.
Mexico
Mexico failed to qualify for the knockout stages at the last World Cup, but performed well in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, winning the title with a 1-0 win over Panama.
In the first match of the Nations League playoffs, they sensationally lost to Honduras, and the Mexicans frankly had no chance of success. Now they will have to make a lot of effort to win back the two-goal difference and reach the semi-finals of the tournament.
Honduras
Honduras also competed in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but a lowly team failed to make it past the group stage. The team performed well in the Nations League, finishing second in the group with seven points, behind only Jamaica.
Statistics and prediction for the match
Statistics and figures speak in favor of Mexico: they are the favorites of the match according to the bookmakers, have scored two goals in four of the last five meetings and have won four of the last five matches. At the same time, the Honduras team did not concede a single goal in the last four matches.
I think that this game will be a confident victory for the Mexican team. They are the stronger team and the first match can be considered a fluke. I suggest betting on Mexico to win with a goal handicap (-1.5).
