Guatemala faces Mexico in round 2 of the North American Gold Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, July 15th at Cotton Bowl (Dallas)
How objective is the result of the match between Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago? Absolutely not objective. By the time of the whistle for the break, the Mexicans had to not just win but have a handicap. Trinidad was just lucky, and I'm not exaggerating. The ball either hit the woodwork or the goalkeeper, who sometimes seemed to react to it only after it bounced off him. Best of all, Mexico's advantage will be described by statistics: 83% of ball possession, 30 versus 4 for shots, 7 versus 0 for shots on target, and 15 versus 1 for corners. As we can see, the advantage was overwhelming. It is impossible to simply describe it in other words.

Guatemala is an even more modest national team. What can I say, if it lost to El Salvador with a difference of two goals in the first round? And it was absolutely deservedly: El Salvador had 69% of ball possession, 21 versus 4 for shots, 6 versus 1 for accurate shots, and 10 versus 0 for corners. And it happened in the match against El Salvador, which is equal to Guatemala in capabilities. How will the Blue Fury confront Mexico? It’s an unanswered question. Moreover, Mexico is likely to go on the rampage soon, and unlike the United States, the Aztecs brought the top roster.
One cannot count on a goal scored by Guatemala. Resources don't allow having such hopes. Okay, if Antonio Lopez from Mexican America was in the ranks, the team could claim to score. But he's injured. So, the choice in the attack is scarce. Three goals scored by Mexico? It’s real. The team scored so much in the last head-to-head match in 2020. Moreover, the Tricolors did that even before the break. The team had to score the same number already in the first round, and we will probably see furious Mexicans. The class difference is obvious. I'm betting on a landslide victory for Mexico.
Prediction for the match: Mexico to win with -2.5 handicap
