Mexico vs Honduras prediction
Coached by former Real Mallorca boss Javier Aguirre, Mexico have been impressive during his tenure and that has continued into the CONCACAF Gold Cup. They eased into the semi-finals courtesy of a comfortable 2-0 defeat of Herve Renard’s Saudi Arabia at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona the other day.
They now face a Honduras side that began their campaign with a 6-0 annihilation at the hands of Canada. Despite that, they have pulled themselves together to reach the final four and restore some pride, most recently edging past a strong and improving Panama side on penalties in the quarter-finals at the weekend.
Honduras have been obdurate since Canada demolished them but this is once again another step up in quality and Mexico should be controlled enough to get the victory.
Mexico vs Honduras tip: Mexico to win & under 3.5 goals
