Mexico v USA Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifiers 11th June
What a cracking showdown we will have here in Mexico City when these two rivals meet on the weekend. Mexico took a win over the USA earlier in the campaign and will further strengthen their position at the top of the group if they complete the double over them. Mexico are in great form and with the USA still looking to find their feet after a rough start, the Americans could find themselves in trouble again.

Mexico v USA Betting Tips
What a big chance for Mexico here at home to strengthen their position at the head of the qualification group. They go into the next round of matches with a five-point lead over second placed Costa Rica and the USA are a point further adrift. So Mexico would take a giant step towards Russia 2018 with a win in this one and that would also heap more qualification stress on the USA. Mexico took a 2-1 win over the USA in the opening round of matches thanks to a late winner two minutes from time in Ohio. Mexico have gone W4 D1 in their five matches in the group so far and have some good momentum. Each of their eight goals have come from a different player. They have conceded just the one goal and that was against the USA in their opener. So that is a four match clean sheet streak they are on and Mexico to win to nil at bet365 is running at a price of 13/10. Mexico have won their last two games against the USA, both by a one goal margin. Mexico to win by a one goal margin at bet365 is 12/5.
The USA need to dig deep in this one to boost their qualification hopes. It’s not an easy game and after a 2-0 home win over Trinidad and Tobago in Denver on Thursday, they at least pushed their way into the top three in the group at the expense of Panama. So that was a positive for them as Bruce Arena tries to recover from their back to back opening losses in the group which saw Jurgen Klinsmann sacked. The USA are actually top scorers in the group now with ten goals, but they have shipped seven goals in their five qualifiers which is a big concern. Both teams to score at bet365 is a price of even money and may be worth a flutter. Clint Dempsey is the top scorer in the qualification group and he goes at 7/1 in the first goalscorer market. Christian Pulisic netted both goals in their 2-0 win over Trinidad. Before these back to back losses against Mexico, the USA had put together a six match unbeaten streak of form against Mexico (W3 D3). This is a big test for the USA and not one they will want to lose.

Mexico v USA Predictions
Mexico to win: This is such a big game and Mexico can deliver the victory in this one. They have been running in very good form and they are likely going to have too much in the attacking department for the USA, who still don’t look very together, to handle.
