Honduras vs Mexico Prediction and Betting Tips | November 15th 2024

Honduras and Mexico lock horns at the Estadio Francisco Morazán in the first leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final on Friday. Coincidentally, both sides faced each other in last year's quarter-finals too, with Javier Aguirre’s men prevailing on penalties following a 2-2 aggregate stalemate.

Honduras brought their 2024 Nations League group stage campaign to an end on October 15 when they played out a goalless draw with Jamaica at the Independence Park.

With that result, Reinaldo Rueda’s side clinched second place in Group B with seven points from their four matches, narrowly finishing above third-placed Nicaragua on goal difference.

Honduras head into Friday’s clash unbeaten in five of their last six competitive games, claiming four wins and one draw, and will look to kick off the Nations League knockout phase on a positive note.

Mexico, on the other hand, turned in a solid team display on October 16 when they picked up a 2-0 victory over USA in a friendly matchup at the Akron Stadium.

Aguirre’s men have now gone four back-to-back games without defeat in all competitions, picking up two wins and two draws since a 1-0 loss to Venezuela in June’s Copa America group stage clash.

Mexico, who are 16th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, head into Friday’s clash as one of four unseeded sides and will look to kick off their quest for a first Nations League title on a high.
