Odds, picks & predictions

Mexico: -200
Draw: +340
Honduras: +550

Moneyline pick: Mexico -200

Although they're fresh off a semifinal loss to USA in CONCACAF Nations League play, the Mexican side will be ready to get back in action for the Gold Cup. El Tri are the most decorated country in the Gold Cup, claiming a staggering eight titles starting in 1993. They'll look to reclaim their crown this year after the Americans won in 2021, but they'll have to get through three teams in the group stage first.

While Honduras come in as the underdogs, it's not far-fetched for them to sneak a win over the Mexican side especially if they're still reeling from their Nations League loss. Honduras haven't logged a win over Mexico since a 3-2 win in October of 2017 during World Cup qualifying play. Since then, Mexico has outscored the Hondurans 7-0 through four matches.

However, Honduras aren't quite the formidable team they once were, as they used to compete with the best in CONCACAF and go toe-to-toe with any other team in the region. They're susceptible to giving up goals on the counter attack as their defense can become scattered especially in transition.

I'd expect Mexico to get the win over Honduras in this match as El Tri will be motivated to win the group and move on into the knockouts with plenty of momentum.
