Mexico vs Panama Prediction & Pick
Mexico bounced back from a loss to Qatar in group play with back-to-back clean-sheet wins in the knockout stage. Not only is the defense suffocating opposing attacks, but the offense is creating quality looks. Mexico tallied 8 shots on target against Costa Rica and drew 8 corners against Jamaica.
Panama has been a fun squad to watch on its current run, but it's worth noting this is the first time since 2013 that the country is in the Gold Cup final. Meanwhile, Mexico has been in the finals three times since that point and won it all twice. That experience alone makes Mexico a rightful favorite.
I'll back a Mexico squad that has earned a victory in four of its last five matches against Panama.
Final Score Prediction:'Mexico: 2 | Panama: 0

Mexico vs Panama Best Bet
This best bet has everything to do with how well Mexico is attacking the net as of late. The country has scored at least 2 goals in four of its five matches in this year's Gold Cup. The team's 12 total goals in that span have been scored by eight different players, too. That goes to show that the talent depth on this roster is worth trusting. Mexico has also tallied 9 goals in its last five clashes against Panama.
