Haiti meets Mexico in the North & Central America Gold Cup semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 3rd at State Farm Stadium (Glendale)
Haiti made its way to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The team beat Canada 3:2 by scoring all three goals in the second half, and few people believed in it. Haiti got out of the group from the first place, having earned nine points in three matches. In principle, the team plays pretty well. But there is one remarkable factor: the team scored exclusively in the second half in three of four meetings. Perhaps this is a distinctive feature of Haiti. I know some teams that score exclusively at the end of the second half, and often several goals. In any case, it will be very hard for Haiti to play with the current opponent from the opening minutes.

Mexico showed an excellent game in Group A, also having earned nine points and progressed from the first place. Even the most serious rival Canada was beaten with a huge advantage both in terms of attacks and the final score (3:1). Playing with Costa Rica in the quarterfinal, Mexico really had problems, and although the team looked better in the game, it won only on penalties. Mexico gained superiority in goals in the first half with all the teams of the current cup. In friendly matches this year, Mexico also came out victorious with most of the best South American teams. And if the team is really motivated to advance to the final, it needs to open the score already in the first half. Judging by the coefficients for the clean victory of Haiti, bookmakers do not believe in it at all and give huge odds.
Based on the tempers of the teams and their tactics, I think Mexico should score in the first half. If the opening of the score is delayed, the game can be led to the extra time and even to the penalty shootout, which is generally not profitable.
Prediction for the match: Mexico to win the first half
