Mexico hosts El Salvador in round 14 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, March 31st at Estadio Azteca (Mexico City)
In most cases, the national team of Mexico competes with the United States for the right to be called the strongest team in the region. But it should be noted that the current qualification is not so easy for the Tricolors. A little more than half of the matches were won (seven out of 13), and this is not the level that was expected from Gerardo Martino’s men. The first international match in March ended with a home goalless draw against the United States. After that, the Mexicans managed to beat Honduras away due to the only goal of Alvarez in the middle of the 2nd half. This allowed them to keep a 3-point lead over their closest pursuer, Costa Rica. The only thing left to do is not to fail in the final round. Even a draw will be enough for Mexico to finish in third place.

El Salvador did not surprise at all in these qualifiers. Even the promotion to the decisive round of this qualification was a great achievement for the Blue-Whites. Let’s recall that they managed to qualify for the World Cups in 1970 and 1982, but in both cases, everything ended in three defeats in the group stage. After that, the Salvadorian national team didn’t manage to repeat such a success. Moreover, the Blue-Whites didn’t rise above the quarterfinals at the Gold Cup. In the current qualifiers, they sometimes managed to gain positive results (for example, a victory over Honduras and a draw with Jamaica). After 13 rounds, they have only two victories and ten points. Now the Salvadorians can only hope to maintain an advantage over Jamaica.
El Salvador beat Mexico back in 2009. After that, the Tricolors won nine head-to-head matches in a row, including a 2-0 victory in the current qualifiers. Bookmakers do not doubt that the hosts will win the upcoming game as well. And we believe that they will do it confidently.
Prediction for the match: Mexico to win with -2.0 handicap
