El Salvador vs Mexico Predictions

• Mexico have won their last eight meetings against El Salvador, including a 1-0 victory in the CONCACAF Gold Cup earlier this year.
• El Tri have lost just one of their last 14 starts, winning nine and keeping nine clean sheets.
• El Salvador have won just one of their last nine games, losing five and failing to score in six.

Mexico to maintain head to head dominance

Mexico have won their last eight meetings with El Salvador and we’re backing Gerardo Martino’s men to extend that sequence a shade cosily in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying this Thursday.

El Tri make the trip to San Salvador top of the standings five games into the final phase, and they eased three points clear of everyone else with a consummate 3-0 success over Honduras at the weekend.

While there’s still nine matches left to play in qualifying, reaching Qatar 2022 already looks a formality for the Mexicans who have claimed three wins and two draws so far in the group, and Martino’s side have now lost just one of their last 14 internationals, winning nine.

Shut-out in San Salvador

El Tri have also maintained nine clean sheets over that period, and a win to nil for Mexico rates the most likely outcome in San Salvador this Thursday, with the hosts winning just one of their last nine outings, losing five and failing to register in six.

Mexico’s triumph over El Salvador at this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup was a slender one with Luis Rodriguez’ first half strike the only goal separating the sides in Dallas, but we’re backing a 2-0 correct score this time around with the visitors netting at least twice in five of their last ten games.
