Predict the match between Mexico and Honduras
Mexico excluded well-known names such as Napoli winger Hirving Lozano and Sevilla striker Jesus Manuel Corona from the squad. Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Raul Jimenez, who was briefly considered one of the best strikers in the Premier League, has slowed down considerably in recent years for both club and country, and is not included either.
In Santiago Jimenez, Mexico is hoping to have a Jimenez replacement. Gimenez has established himself as an exciting prospect in the Eredivisie, and the 22-year-old has been linked with Manchester United recently. Jimenez enjoyed an excellent first season in Europe with Feyenoord, scoring an impressive number of goals in limited minutes.
In midfield, they have players like Eric Sanchez, Edson Alvarez and Carlos Rodriguez. Alvarez, in particular, was said to have been close to joining Chelsea last summer and is said to be close to a move to Borussia Dortmund this time around.
On the other hand, Honduras has a player in Albert Ellis who is capable of creating problems for the opposition defense. Ellis has previously represented clubs like the Houston Dynamo and Purdue, and so does experience.
Mexico has what it takes to emerge victorious here, and should emerge victorious.
