Mexico vs Honduras Prediction & Pick

These two countries are plenty familiar with one another in the sport of soccer, as they have met head-to-head four times since June of 2021. Mexico holds a 3-1-0 (W-D-L) record during that span and heads into Sunday night with some momentum as it captured third place in the CONCACAF Nations League.

I expect that momentum to grow with a victory. Mexico's defense has been great since their exit from the World Cup, conceding eight goals across seven games. The same thing cannot be said about Honduras' defense as it has given up five goals in its two matches since the calendar turned to 2023.

Look for Honduras' offense to grow frustrated in this one as Mexico cruises to a low-scoring win.

Final Score Prediction: Mexico: 2 | Honduras: 0

Mexico vs Honduras Best Bet

I'm going to stick with trusting Mexico's defense and back Honduras to stay off the scoreboard. Keep in mind Honduras is coming off a 1-0 loss to Venezuela on June 15 and was shut out by this Mexico squad back in March of 2022. In fact, each of Mexico's last three wins against Honduras have come via a shutout. Honduras hasn't scored against Mexico since 2017 and I don't see that fact changing.

Bet: Honduras Under 0.5 Goals (+126)
