Haiti vs. Mexico Prediction on June 29, 2023

Match info

On matchday two of the competition this Thursday, June 29, starting at 7 PM local time at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, USA, Haiti and Mexico can go one step closer to the knockout round of the men’s football 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Meeting statistics

In their opening Group B match, “El Tri“ defeated Honduras with ease, winning 4-0, while the Haitians upset Qatar by a score of 2-1 in the 97th minute.

The current form of Haiti

The Haitians won their opening encounter at this competition for the first time since 2019 thanks to a goal in both halves’ injury time, maintaining their 100% record in 2023. Since overturning a 0-2 deficit against Canada in the 2019 Gold Cup quarterfinals to win 3-2, this team’s comeback victory against the 2022 World Cup hosts was the first time they had managed to win a match in which they had trailed at the half. In six of its last seven Gold Cup games, Haiti has given up the first goal, yet it has won four of those games.

Gabriel Calderón Pellegrino managed his team for the first time on Sunday, and they’ll go into this game with a perfect record against CONCACAF opponents dating back to late March 2021. In their last four games, “Les Grenadiers“ have let up one goal or fewer while scoring multiple goals six times in a row. It has been more than 50 years since Haiti last defeated Mexico on the international stage, winning 3-1 in a match that was played in Port-au-Prince in April 1971.

The current form of Mexico

Jaime Lozano, the interim manager, was highly impressed by Mexico after they quickly took control of their opening encounter and began to dominate. The Mexicans have now gone undefeated in 14 straight group-stage matches in this competition, and that victory was their greatest at the Gold Cup since thrashing Cuba 7-0 in their opening match in 2019. This triumph over Honduras last weekend comes at a particularly worrying moment because they haven’t won a CONCACAF championship in four years and have only won two of their previous five matches against CONCACAF opponents.

Mexico hasn’t lost to Haiti in a while, and it hasn’t surrendered to its rival in a while either. The last time it did so was in a friendly game in November 1981 that ended in a 1-1 draw. The last time “El Tri“ lost to a Caribbean opponent was during the 2017 Gold Cup when Jamaica struck late in that semifinal match to earn a 1-0 victory. Since then, Mexico hasn’t suffered a loss to a Caribbean opponent. Since July 2013, when Gabriel Torres scored the first of two goals for Panama as it defeated “El Tri“ 2-1, Mexico hasn’t conceded the first goal in the group stage of this competition.

Match analytics

We, as well as bookmakers with Android apps, are giving Mexico a tiny advantage on Wednesday because it appears to be in a lot better spirits under its new coach, has a flawless record versus Haiti, and has demonstrated the capacity to prevail in these group-stage matches.
