The United States and Mexico have a long history of facing off against each other in the Gold Cup, as they are the two premier teams in CONCACAF.
Tonight will be a challenge for the Americans as they will need to overcome years of Mexican dominance. Mexico has won three straight finals against the United States, and the odds are in its favor tonight.
The Gold Cup has been good for a rebuilding American program, yet they will need to be more explosive on offense to stay with Mexico. Outside of one game against Martinique, the USMNT has only scored one goal in each game it’s played. Four clean sheets in five games is a testament to the United States’ defense, but the offense needs to show up today.
Mexico, on the other hand, is in its groove offensively. The Mexican team has scored five goals across the last two matches and is averaging nearly two goals per match across the tournament. While its defense hasn’t been as stingy as the Americans, the ball is reaching the back of the net and that’s all that matters.
A win for Mexico tonight would be a great addition to its dominance in CONCACAF play, while a win for the Americans would be a crucial step to returning to a competitive state on the world stage.
Will Mexico three-peat in the Gold Cup?
