Mexico – USA (Pick, Prediction, Preview) Preview

Mexico vs USA Prediction & Tips

A high-stakes game in the Central American qualifying group for the World Cup in Qatar. Mexico and the United States of America face each other as the runners-up with 21 points behind Canada on 25 points and ahead of Panama and Costa Rica on 17 and 16 points. The top three places mean direct access to the World Cup and that is why the direct challenge will be of fundamental importance to get closer to the World Cup. The U.S. is better off, having won three of their last five matches, while Mexico have lost twice, drawn once and won twice in the same period, and the first leg of the match ended 2-0 to the Americans.

In the eleven match days of the World Cup qualifying round, eight of the USA’s and seven of Mexico’s matches have ended under 2.5.

Four of the last five matches played by the USA have ended with the Under 2.5.

Two iron defences face off: the USA have conceded seven goals, Mexico eight, with only Canada better.

The last two meetings have ended 2-0 and 1-0 to the USA.

The match between Mexico and the United States will end with the Under 2.5 rule. The two sides are both second on 21 points and face off in the big match of the day. The two teams are very similar, with attacks not very prolific, 16 and 14 goals in eleven matches, and defences rather impermeable, 7 and 8 goals against. With these numbers, it is unlikely to be a spectacular match, also because there is a lot at stake: winning means they will have one foot in Qatar, while losing would be a problem because Panama and Costa Rica are waiting in the wings. So the feeling is that for both will be important not to score and try to win the race taking advantage of the single episode, and so the match will end with the Under 2.5.
