2018 World Cup Qualification Central American Section

Just two games remain in the 4th Round of this section before it enters its final stage of qualification. Mexico have already sealed their place in the final phase and wins for Costa Rica, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago will seal their spots in the final stage. Not sure why St Vincent and Grenadines versus USA isn't listed here. Anybody got any idea?

Honestly, I didn't see that Mexico result coming! Thought they would beat Honduras at home. Shame, because Costa Rica bossed it. What odds did you have?

It isn't often that bet365 posts up the odds for the CONCACAF sections of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers this early but here we go! A defeat here for USA is almost unthinkable but it's a possibility. Two defeats from their first two games against Costa Rica and Mexico means they are bottom of the group and desperately need the win. Mexico and Costa Rica play each other in what surely has to be a Mexico win with over 2.5 goals scored. Then there's the battle of the minnows between Trinidad and Tobago and Panama. Would love to see Panama get over the heartache of the last World Cup qualification process.

I'm going with Costa Rica -1 against Panama. The group is pretty tight with USA finally woken up from their slumbers. Costa Rica kinda of hit a small slump as they are now winless in their last 2 games after starting the campaign with 2 wins out of 2. Their best players like gk Keylor Navas, defender Giancarlo Gonzalez, midfielders Celso Borgos, Bryan Ruiz and striker Joel Campbell are all available. They should have too much for a average CONCACAF team like Panama.

Low value on Costa Rica for the outright win so think you're right backing the -1. Panama are a tricky proposition on their own patch but are far less effective away. Three home wins look bankers here so a three fold with all three -1 could be an option if you fancy pushing the boat out.

After Mexico and USA drew 1-1 it leaves a door open for Panama to sneak into the automatic qualification spots. Their heartbreaking last minute defeat to USA in the last World Cup qualification campaign is something they would like to rectify and they could move into a good position to do that. Costa Rica could also consolidate their spot in the qualification places.

@vasilli07 and @winnerwinner, will you guys be betting on these games?

Here are the odds for the next round of qualification games in the CONCACAF section. Mexico can qualify for the 2018 World Cup with a win at home against Panama. Panama need a win keep in the hunt. USA and Costa Rica are involved in the tie of the round. A win for either would put them in a much stronger position. USA could be in trouble if they don't win, especially if Panama spring a surprise on Mexico.

@vasilli07 and @winnerwinner, what do you guys reckon for these matches?

Here are the odds for the next round of CONCACAF section for 2018 World Cup qualification. Mexico have already sealed their spot at the finals. Costa Rica will join them if they get a point in their match with Honduras. The big game is USA versus Panama. A win for Panama will secure their spot at the finals and leave USA battling with Honduras for a play-off spot.
