Our prediction for this Nations League match:
All eyes will be on AT&T Stadium when USA and Mexico square off against each other in the CONCACAF Nations League final. USA survived Jamaica in the semis, with the Yanks scoring a late equalizer in the regular time and, no doubt, they face a difficult task in the title game. Coventry City attacker Haji Wright, who scored a brace in the extra-time against the Reggae Boyz, is pushing for a start, while right-back Serginio Best is back from suspension.
El Tri, on the other hand, set up a meeting with USA by beating Panama 3-0 in their semi-final. Given Mexico’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. Barring any fresh injury worries, Mexico boss Jaime Lozano is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated los Canaleros in Arlington.
