Mexican soccer enters a new chapter as the CONCACAF Gold Cup begins with former coach Diego Cocca having been fired in the wake of the surprise 3-0 loss to the United States in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Nations League. Mexico lost its discipline in that game, which saw 2 red cards shown to each team as frustration boiled over.
El Tri gets to start again with this tournament in Canada and the United States following almost immediately and the new regime will be hoping to rebuild some confidence by winning the opening game against Honduras on Sunday. The game kicks off at 8:00 pm ET on Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston and will be shown live on FS1. Our expert has the odds, predictions and a best bet for Mexico’s opening match.

Mexico vs Honduras expert picks
Mexico vs Honduras best bet: Mexico to win to nil (+120)
Former Mexico coach Diego Cocca lasted just 7 games in charge and was fired after they were beaten 3-0 by the USMNT in the CONCACAF Nations League Final. Interim coach Jaime Lozano will take over for their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign, which starts against Honduras on Sunday. Despite the issues behind the scenes, El Tri should be able to secure a win over these opponents without allowing a goal.
Honduras has failed to score in the last 4 head-to-head meetings with Mexico and lost heavily to Canada recently before beaten 1-0 by Venezuela. Honduras took just 4 points from a possible 42 in World Cup qualifying and Mexico should be the only team to score in this matchup.
