Preview –

Mexico was the highest ranked team playing CONCACAF and perhaps its no wonder that they made it to the final. It’s also a fact that they are the favorites to win this match. However, things aren’t as good as it looks. If I am to predict the favorite on recent results then Mexico would be far from the favorite here. Sounds odd but that’s the truth. They started the campaign with a bang where they won by 6-0. But after that they could not even score against Guatemala and allowed 4 goals to be scored against them against Trinidad & Tobago. They barely defeated Costa Rica in the extra time and got past weak Panama by the same way in Semi-Final. But still, they have better players and their chances to win this match are higher.

Jamaica has been the secret blaster in this tournament. They played Copa America before this and their performance there was good but they lost all the 3 matches. However, those close matches that they were loosing in Copa America started to turn on their favor as they literary dominated their way to the final. Their first match was a draw against Costa rica but after that they won rest of the matches. They defeated Canada, El Salvador, Haiti and even host USA. Now they are looking at the trophy and who knows, their recent form and momentum might be enough to get the final win.

Prediction –

We predict that Mexico will win this match by 2-1. But don’t get shocked if you see the result reversed.
