Mexico v Qatar

Mexico v Qatar Preview

In Group B, the group leaders, Mexico, take on third-placed Qatar at Levi's Stadium in confident mood as Mexico have already sealed their place in the last eight of the Gold Cup but they will be wanting to continue their winning momentum into the knockout stages with a win over invitees, Qatar, this Sunday.

Having won back-to-back games so far in the group stage, Mexico possess a 100% winning record and have therefore accumulated maximum points which has taken them to the top of Group B where they hold a three-point lead over second-placed Haiti, heading into this final round of group games.

Comprehensive victories over Honduras 4-0 and Haiti 3-1 should see a confident and well-rehearsed Mexico outfit take to the field at Levi's Stadium and having suffered just the one defeat in their last 10 matches in all competitions, Mexico look to be the outstanding favourites to take the three points in this upcoming clash as well.

Mexico have collected six wins within these last 10 games too.

Onto Qatar and by contrast it's been a disappointing campaign so far in this season's Gold Cup as the invitees have managed to pick up just one point from their opening two games in the group stage, thanks to a 1-1 draw with Honduras in their previous game.

However, Qatar were dealt a 2-1 loss to Haiti in their Group B opener which now leaves their toughest task of this group stage now to deal with as they prepare to come up against a strong Mexico outfit at Levi's Stadium.

The bigger picture suggest that Qatar will once again have their work cut out if they're to even manage to contain their opponents as the middle-east nation have registered just two wins from their previous 11 games overall in all competitions which came in the form of wins against Kuwait and Jamaica.

Seven defeats within these last 11 matches though doesn't inspire confidence in backing Qatar in any shape of form for this clash with Mexico and indeed it looks like being another tough evening at the office for Qatar on Sunday.

Mexico v Qatar Verdict

Mexico are quite rightly priced as outright favourites to win this match but it still remains to be seen as to how comprehensive their predicted win is likely to be.

These two teams have never met before on the international stage and therefore this could be a fairly low-scoring affair with Mexico well in control throughout the match and keeping a clean sheet in the process.

Therefore, our main bet will be Mexico win & Both Teams To Score No @ 2.50

Other side bets worth considering:

Under 2.5 goals @ 2.60

Correct score: Mexico 2-0 @ 8.00
