Final Betting Analysis: Mexico vs USA
As of Feb. 10, FIFA ranked Mexico twelfth and the United States thirteenth. But although Mexico ranks head of the U.S., El Tri has produced bad performances in the past 3 head-to-head matches.
For some reason, Mexico plays their worst when facing the United States. However, we shouldn’t read too much into the losses.
The Nations League loss happened on Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. The Gold Cup loss occurred at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The WC Qualifying loss on Nov. 12 by 2 goals happened at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
So, yes, Mexico has lost 3 straight to Team USA. But all 3 matches happened on American soil, which means the United States beat Mexico in 3 straight home games.
The tables will turn on Thursday. Team USA must travel to Mexico City and play in front of 100,000 El Tri fans. As well as the United States has played against the Mexicans, El Tri figures to get it done in this match.
Home pitch will be the difference in the rematch on March 24. At -104, Mexico is a great play to beat the U.S. in regulation.
