Mexico is the best team in the CONCACAF and they have continued their prominence in the World Cup Qualification match.
El Tri has established their throne atop Group B after a strong 2-0 win over Costa Rica, who trails them by five points in the standings.
Much was made of Javier "Chicharitto" Hernandez's poor form for his club Manchester United, but the striker looked decent in the match against Costa Rica. However, Mexico got no goals from their strikers but only saw two goals produced off set pieces. Costa Rica will undoubtedly prepare better for those in the upcoming match which places the onus on the Mexican strikers to create more chances and finish some of them.
Costa Rica didn't win, but they played a relatively strong match against Mexico in which they minimized the potent Mexican offense. Despite creating few chances, they were decent defensively and must continue this play in the following round. Costa Rica probably would be satisfied with a draw in the match as the other two teams in the group have only one and two pieces.
X-Factor: Javier Hernandez. If he returns to form then he would create havoc for the Costa Rican defense and allow his partner up top more space with which to maneuver and create. If he's on top of the game, then Mexico will win easily.
Start Time: 8:30 PM
Prediction: I firmly believe Mexico will win every match in the group stage. 2-0 Mexico.
