CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying Matches to Bet On Thursday, Jan. 27th

Mexico -140 vs Jamaica +400

When: Thursday, Jan. 27

Although Jamaica lost their last match by a 3-0 score to Peru, it was an international friendly. Expect Jamaica to play much better versus rival Mexico.

The Mexicans aren’t in great form. El Tri drew with Chile 2-2 in an international friendly in their last. Before the draw, Mexico had lost 2 straight to Canada and the United States. But before we write off Mexico’s chances of winning this contest, we can’t forget that Canada and the U.S. are the two best teams in CONCACAF. The Mexicans step back onto the winning track with a big victory over the home team.

Soccer Pick: Mexico

El Salvador +1 ½ -107 vs United States -1 ½ -128

When: Thursday, Jan. 27

On Sep. 2, El Salvador and the U.S. drew 0-0. But although the teams drew, we shouldn’t expect El Salvador to force another draw.

First, this match happens in the United States. The U.S. is a legit World Cup underdog contender. So we should expect the Americans to come out guns blazing in this WC qualifier.

On Dec. 9, 2020, in the head-to-head before, the U.S. blasted El Salvador 6-0. It shouldn’t get that bad on Thursday. But the Americans will win this by at least 2 goals. If the U.S. really gets going, they can take this match by 3.

Soccer Pick: United States

Canada +114 vs Honduras +240

When: Thursday, Jan. 27

Honduras is on a 5-match losing streak. During the streak, the home team in this has been outscored a combined 12 goals to 4.

Honduras even dropped their international friendly against Colombia in their last match. Canada has asserted itself as the CONCACAF’s best team. The Canadians have won 3 straight, including beating Costa Rica 1-0 on Nov. 12 and Mexico 2-1 on Nov. 16. Canada wins.

Soccer Pick: Canada

Panama +285 vs Costa Rica +103

When: Thursday, Jan. 27

Both teams are in decent enough form to win this. Panama has won 3-of-5. The lone loss in their last 5 was versus Canada on Oct. 13. Since the loss to the Canadians, the road team has beaten Honduras 3-2 and El Salvador 2-1.

Like Panama, Costa Rica is in decent form. Los Ticos broke a 2-match losing streak in their last when besting Honduras 2-1. The losses happened versus the United States and Canada. Costa Rica and Panama drew in the last head-to-head. In the rematch, Costa Rica has the edge. At the current odds, Los Ticos is worth a look.

Soccer Pick: Costa Rica
