Line taken from Pinnacle.
Mexico to win
Mexico to draw
The last qualifying round of Concacafs WC group is played tomorrow and the Mexican squad will make the trip to the islands of Trinidad and Tobago to play against a home team that is in desperate need of a win to advance to a "playoff" in hopes of reaching the World Cup in Germany.
Interestingly enough, Pinnacle has Trinidad and Tobago favored against Mexico. Nonetheless, I have a very hard time believing this should be the case as Mexico is in a league of their own in Concacaf and Trinidad is well, an eternal aspiring team....
Positive things for Trinidad : They are at home, Mexico is not in need of points and Leo Benhakker, their dutch coach has them playing relatively better soccer than they were at the beginning of this round.
Negative things for Trinidad : Aside from the facts pointed above, the team they are facing is a superior team that is very difficult to beat. In this instance, Mexico will not be traveling with their A team but still, their B team is a whole lot better than Trinidads A team will be in a long time.
On paper, this Mexico team is much much much better, so far they have played 9 games in this round, winning 7, drawing 1 and losing 1 *to the US in US*. They have scored 21 goals and have given up only 7 for less than an avg of 1 per game.
The last time Mexico visited Trinidad they came away with a 3-1 victory.
Speaking honestly, Mexico is in a completely different league when it comes to soccer in this area and their superiority is vast. The one incentive they have in this game is not losing 1 place in the group which can happen if they lose and the US wins against Panama, which is likely as Panama has picked up only 2 points in 9 matches.
Tip
Take Mexico to win and Mexico to draw.
