Current Soccer record: 25-29 +1.35 unit (in the green baby)
Mexico ML 2 UNITS (-110)
Currently in the qualifying standings USA and Mexico are tied with 21 points. Top 2 teams out of each group qualify for the World Cup. With 3 qualifying matches left, points are at a premium and every match absolutely matters. USA has the current tiebreaker with Mexico having beat them straight up last match in November in Ohio. Since 2019 USA is 3-1 against Mexico in international competition.
We now have Mexico favored after USA has shown they are able to take care of them the previous matches in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final and their previous match in Cincinnati with a 2-0 score. So what gives? Location Location Location! The match is being played in Mexico City, Mexico. We are vary familiar with this stadium from the few NFL games we have watched and know that this is every bit home field advantage on steroids. This altitude is nothing to play with measuring at roughly half a mile higher elevation than Denver. Players, specifically USA ones will be gassed, period. Now let’s combine that with other factors. We have a country and fan base that cares about soccer tenfold compared to Americans interest going absolutely nuts in a stadium packed to the core with a capacity over 87k. Not to mention the weather will not be cold November 40 degree weather in Ohio. It will be 60-70’s where the home team will be more comfortable in their element.
USA will make it interesting down the stretch having to take on Panama and Costa Rica in their final World Cup qualifying matches. Tonight they come up short against Mexico. Unfortunately too many factors for me that give Mexico the significant advantage to take the patriotic side and, “I believe that they will lose. “
