On June 12th, the mighty Estadio Azteca will host one of the most
thrilling matches in the qualifiers for the World Cup. México and United
States will play a decisive match, with a chance for the home team to
start to secure a spot in Russia. USA, on the other hand, needs a win to
reassure their position in the table.
Under the
management of Juan Carlos Osorio, México are retaking their dominance on
CONCACAF. In their last match, they defeated Honduras 3-0 with ease,
and it currently seems like no team can match their standard. With Raúl
Jímenez and Carlos Vela as the forwards and the Dos Santos brothers as
wingers, the offensive power of the mexicans is lethal. Jesus Corona has
found his position as the playmaker, giving the team a fluid build up
in the midfield. Chicharito Hernández is also set to play at least as a
substitute.
The United States had a hard beginning, but
with Bruce Arena taking the manager position, the team has a new lease
of life. The young star Christian Pulisic, who scored the 2 goals in the
victory over Trinidad and Tobago, is surely the most important player
of the team, together with Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore. These three
players need to carry the offensive weight if they want to have a
chance. Mexico are the favourite to win, with an average of 4/7 with
bookmakers. The oddds of a draw are 14/5 but this might be a big ask in
a Conference where there can be goals a plenty. For this reason, a
match with four goals or more at 5/2, although riskier, could be a
decent bet too.
