USA VS Mexico

Kick Off: 11/12/2021 22:00

 

USA

USA currently rank 13th in the world. They beat Costa Rica in the last qualifier and have won three games in the last four games. At present, they rank 2nd in North American qualifier, with a gap of three points with the leader Mexico but only one point behind the team. USA team have scored 9 goals and conceded 4 goals in 6 world preliminaries, which shows their offense and defense performance is acceptable. The team are good at home games for having been unbeaten and got a winning rate of 80% in the past ten home games.

Mexico

Mexico currently ranks 9th in the world and the first place in North America. There is no doubt about their strength. The team have a number of players from the European League, and the overall strength is not poor. They beat El Salvador 2-0 in the last qualifier. After six rounds of the qualifier, Mexico have remained unbeaten with 4W-2D and scored 10 goals and only conceded 3 goals, continuing to hold the USA at the top of the list with a three-point advantage. The team's recent state is quite stable for having remained unbeaten in 9 of the past 10 games.

Prediction

In terms of past meetings between the two teams, USA have played Mexico for nearly 10 times and achieved 2W-5D-3L. It can be seen that the confrontation between the two sides is still difficult. According to the recent situation, Mexico have recently played a friendly game and their state is relatively good. Also from the current data of all parties, it is better to see Mexico to be unbeaten in this game.

 

Pick: Mexico to be unbeaten.

Total: under 2 goals

Canada VS Costa Rica

Kick Off: 11/12/2021 22:05

 

Canada

Canada currently rank 59th in the world and temporarily the third place in the group of this qualifier. Their prospect of qualifying is quite good. In the last game, they got a big victory over Panama and got three points, whose morale has been improved to a certain extent. So far, they have remained unbeaten in 6 consecutive games. Moreover, the team have appeared some potential players such as Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, who play for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Lille in Ligue 1 respectively.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica are in a poor state recently. They have won only one game in the last six world preliminaries, and contributed an own goal to the United States and made US get the 3 points without effort in the last game. However, they have scored goals in two consecutive games, and there are signs of improvement on the offense end.

Prediction

Although there is little difference in terms of strength between the two sides, considering that Canada have the advantage of home field, and the team's attack has excellent performance. They have a good chance to achieve a winning streak.

 

Pick: Canada

Total: under 2.5 goals

Canada v Costa Rica

Canada hasn’t been closer to qualifying for the final tournament, as they still haven’t lost after six rounds. The hosts sit in third place, being one point behind the USA and two ahead of Panama. Milan Borjan and the lads have already played three times on the road, where they booked all three draws, including the ones against Mexico and the USA. On the other hand, Canada celebrated twice in a row at home, and they have an excellent chance of extending that run. Jonathan David has been leading their offense with three goals, while Canada scored a total of ten. The home side is full of confidence, and they want to keep up where they left off.

Costa Rica hasn’t been too convincing so far, as they are fifth with only six points won. They booked only one victory, and it came on the home ground against El Salvador. Ronald Gonzalez’s side has trouble converting its chances into goals, as they have scored only four times so far. On the other hand, their defense has been pretty tight, conceding just five goals. Costa Rica lost against the USA on the road, but they fought for goalless draws against Panama and Honduras. However, Canada enjoys a much better form, and we don’t think they will miss the chance to pick up the new three points.

Canada to Win @ 1.55

Honduras vs. Panama

Honduras
The Honduras national team missed the World Cup in Russia. Even now, it is unlikely that the home team will be able to compete for anything worthwhile, given the position of the home team in the standings. Honduras has an 8-match streak without victories, is on the last line in the group and looks extremely inexpressive, and in the last match at home it lost to the team from Jamaica 0-2.

Panama
On the contrary, the Panama team played at the World Cup in Russia. It is worth noting that she did it extremely unsuccessfully, but what difference does it make if the very fact of getting to the World Cup is already considered a great success. Now the team of guests is on the fourth line, so in theory the team can still compete for the world championship in Qatar, if it significantly improves.

Match bet

The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 3-2 in favor of Honduras. I will not bet any of the teams to win in this fight, but I will simply leave the forecast in favor of the increased total, which, I am sure, will exceed the value of two goals. I guess the game will be productive again.

Bet -  Total Over 2

USA vs. Mexico

USA
The US national team started confidently in the selection for the World Cup and had no particular problems with scoring until the penultimate match. In the away game against Panama, Gregg Berhalter's wards were never able to shoot into the opponent's goal and suffered a minimal defeat of 0-1, which became the first in the campaign. After that, the Americans are three points behind the leader of the table and take second place in the overall standings.

Mexico
Mexico has never lost in the current qualification and after six rounds tops the selection table. Gerardo Martino's team has the best defense at the moment, conceding only three goals and playing very aggressively in attack, scoring more than the other participants. In the past confrontation, the "tricolors" confidently beat El Salvador 2-0 away and may break even more from the USA in case of a successful performance in a face-to-face match.

Prediction

Both teams are leaders in their region and claim the first line in the table. Mexico looks more confident in the starting qualifying matches, and the statistics of head-to-head meetings on the side of the Greens. The USA failed to show anything intelligible in the duel with Panama and on their field in official games they did not beat the current opponent for a very long time.

I suppose that the confrontation between the principal rivals and neighbors will be dictated by the guest team. The Greens look more convincing both in attack and defense. The guests, in our opinion, are closer to the set of three points, but we propose to insure the rate.

My bet is handicap (0) on Mexico.

Canada vs Mexico

Kick Off: 11/16/2021 22:05

 

Canada

Canada currently rank 48th in the world, while rank 4th in North America. Their overall strength is less than that of Mexico. After seven games in this American qualifier, the team have achieved an unbeaten record of 3W-4D, accumulating 13 points and temporarily ranking 3rd in the group. The prospect of qualifying of them is quite good. After the their last 1-0 victory over Costa Rica, they recently won two consecutive victories. During this period, Canada scored as many as five goals, and their morale has been improved to a certain extent.

Mexico

Mexico rank No. 9 in the world and No. 1 in North America. There is no doubt about their strength. They lost to USA 2-0 in the last game. After seven rounds of the qualifier, Mexico have achieved a record of 4W-2D-1L with 14 points, ranking the second place by goal difference behind the USA.

 

Prediction

The two teams have had a record of eight meetings in history. Canada lost six times without a win, resulting in psychology disadvantage. Coupled with the recent performance, Canada's overall strength is obvious to all, and they are also the only team that remain unbeaten in the group stage. Naturally, in the face of Mexico again, Canada have enough confidence to be unbeaten.

 

Pick: Canada to be unbeaten

Total: 1-1, 2-1
