Match Preview

Ahead of our Honduras vs Mexico preview and soccer tips, the home nation are running out of time somewhat. They currently sit in fifth place in the table, one outside the playoff place, with only goal difference dictating that Panama are in fourth. Honduras need at least a point to stand a chance of leapfrogging the team ahead of them, with three points potentially enough to take third place ahead of the United States of America.

Our partners: Reliable, honest, and player oriented – those are the three words that come to mind when talking about casino free play no deposit 777Spinslot.

Our Honduras vs Mexico predictions are influenced by the fact that Mexico have already qualified for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which makes it tempting to back the underdogs in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualification odds.

El Tri’s focus may have slipped slightly since their presence at the upcoming tournament has been confirmed, with the potential for rotations to keep domestic clubs happy also a big possibility given that there is nothing left to truly play for.

Honduras vs Mexico Prediction and Betting Advice

Coral are offering the best odds in the market of Honduras picking up a point, with the motivation behind them given that the home nation could still take a play-off spot in CONCACAF qualifying with just a draw. El Tri are already thinking of next summer, having celebrated their progression to the World Cup within the last month.

The hosts have lost just one of their last six competitive games on home soil, with Panama taking a 1-0 victory back in November 2016. Since then, the likes of Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica and the USA have all dropped points in San Pedro Sula.

Mexico have scored just two goals in their last three away qualifiers, taking five points from a possible nine in the process. They have remained unbeaten on the road since 2013, but that doesn’t mean that Honduras won’t be able to steal a hard-earned point.

Our Honduras vs Mexico bets back the hosts to concede on Wednesday, as they haven’t kept a home clean sheet since March 2016. They did manage a 0-0 stalemate with Mexico last year, but in the first round of qualifying in 2017, El Tri won by a 3-0 scoreline.

Raul Jimenez, Hirving Lozano and Oswaldo Alanis grabbed the goals at the Azteca, with Mexico having improved plenty since 2016. One clean sheet in their last four competitive attempts, however, suggest that there should be some weak spots for Honduras to exploit at some point.

Our Honduras vs Mexico picks suggest that home nation should be confident that they can do some damage to their opponents, despite Juan Carlos Osorio’s men boasting a fantastic unbeaten record. A point is vital the hosts’ attempts to clamber towards the World Cup, and the atmosphere will be pushing them all the way.
