Mexico vs USA Match Preview

Mexico and the USA will face each other in the twelfth match in the Central American qualifying group for the World Cup in Azteca. The first three of the group advance directly to the final stage.

Mexico, after the bore draw at home with Costa Rica, took a significant breath in terms of points with the 1-0 victory at home against Panama. They are now tied with 21 points with their current rival in second place, behind Canada who have 25 points.

We need a prestige victory against the United States that will revive the team's morale, but will also take the lead. Gerardo Daniel "Tata" Martino is a breath away from leaving and must improve team's performance to continue on the bench of the 'sombreros'. J. Corona, H. Lozano will play along with the forward R. Jiménez. The injured R. Funes Mori, A. Guardado are out. An away match with Honduras follows.

The USA left behind their defeat by Canada (2-0) and prevailed with 3-0 over Honduras in the last match. With 21 points, they claim to qualify in the final stage. A positive result today at Azteca will give them the upper hand, against Mexico.

However, they traveled with significant absences in Mexico as S. Dest, W. McKennie, M. Turner and C. Richards will be missing due to injuries. Absences that make the coach of the team Gregg Berhalter have to "shuffle the deck" to find solutions. An away match with Panama follows, finishing with an away match against Costa Rica.

Mexico is capable to make a big victory against the United States in front of their fans. Home win will double our money.
