Mexico vs Honduras Preview and Team News

Mexico Team News

Mexico haven’t been flashy at the 2025 Gold Cup, but they’ve shown enough quality to get past every single rival they’ve faced so far. 

They remain undefeated through four matches and have kept three consecutive clean sheets. In fact, the team haven’t conceded in their last 293 minutes of play. The performances of players like César Montes and Luis Malagón have been particularly impressive.

That defensive prowess should continue here, as they’re massive favourites against Honduras, which is ranked 58 spots below them in the FIFA Rankings. However, having lost two of their previous four head-to-head meetings, Mexico can’t afford to be complacent, especially with a spot in the final on the line and a potential rematch against the USA on the horizon.

Javier Aguirre’s men won’t have any notable absences for this contest. However, Mexico haven’t repeated the same starting lineup in any of their four Gold Cup fixtures. Aguirre is likely to make a few tactical changes again, though key players such as Édson Álvarez, Johan Vásquez, Montes, Malagón, Raúl Jiménez, and Alexis Vega are all expected to start.

Mexico predicted lineup vs Honduras (4-3-3): Malagón; Araujo, Vásquez, Montes, Gallardo; Álvarez, Chávez, Ruiz; Vega, Jiménez, Alvarado.

Honduras Team News

Very few experts and pundits could’ve predicted Honduras reaching the final stages of the 2025 Gold Cup, especially after suffering a heavy 6-0 defeat to Canada in their tournament opener. 

However, that’s precisely what has happened. They defeated Panama via penalties in the quarterfinals, securing three wins in a row (including penalty shootouts) after their loss to Canada.

Despite the solid run of results and a clear uptick in confidence, Los Catrachos are unlikely to go toe to toe against Mexico. 

They’re expected to adopt a defensive-minded approach and look to exploit any gaps that their opponents may leave on the counter. It’s a tactic that paid off against Panama, earning them a win despite losing the xG battle (1.74-1.12).

Honduras aren’t dealing with any significant injuries or suspensions and are likely to field the same starting eleven for the third game in a row. 

However, one notable absence might be Anthony “Choco” Lozano. The Santos Laguna striker is expected to remain on the bench, with manager Reinaldo Rueda once again turning to Romell Quioto to lead the line.

Honduras predicted lineup vs Mexico (4-2-3-1): Menjivar; Crisanto, Maldonado, Martínez, Rosales; Arriaga, Flores; Rodríguez, Álvarez, Benguche; Quioto.

Mexico vs Honduras Main Match Info

Mexico vs Honduras Prediction, Odds

Mexico’s games have had few goals in this tournament, but in every match in which they’ve found the back of the net, they were the first to do so. We expect that tendency to continue here, with Aguirre’s men opening the score before halftime and cruising to a victory and a berth in the 2025 Gold Cup final.

Mexico vs Honduras Betting Tip

Three of Mexico’s four games at the 2025 Gold Cup have ended with under 2.5 total goals, with the lone exception being their 3-2 victory over the Dominican Republic in the tournament opener. The same could only be said about two of Honduras’ four matches.

Given Mexico’s growing solidity at the back and the likelihood that their opponents will sit deep and play a defensive style, this clash is shaping up to be a low-scoring affair.
