Mexico vs Honduras Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024

Mexico and Honduras square off at the Estadio Nemesio Díez in the second leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-finals on Friday. Having lost 2-0 last Friday, Javier Aguirre’s men face an uphill battle to overturn their first-leg deficit and secure a spot in the semis.

Despite having most of the ball and being the dominant team for most of the game, Mexico failed to take the initiative and lost 2-0 to Honduras in the first leg of their Nations League quarter-final clash last Friday.

This came four months since their disappointing outing in the 2024 Copa America, where they suffered their first group-stage exit since 2015 after picking up four points from a possible nine in Group B.

While Mexico will be looking to turn the tie on its head on Tuesday, they have scored three or more goals in just one of their last nine competitive games since July 2023 — a run that does not bode well for their clash at the Estadio Nemesio Díez.

As for Honduras, Celtic forward Luis Palma grabbed the headlines in Friday’s reverse leg as he netted both goals off the bench in the second half to cap off a brilliant cameo.

Before that, Reinaldo Rueda’s side picked up seven points from five matches in Group B to clinch second place in the table, edging out third-placed Nicaragua on goal difference.

Honduras suffered a heartbreaking penalty-shootout loss to Mexico in the Nations League quarter-finals last year and will head into Tuesday’s clash looking to complete their revenge.
