Mexico vs Guatemala Prediction
Mexico are without a defeat against Guatemala across competitions since 2007. They have four wins in their last five games across competitions and are strong favourites to win this game.
Guatemala, meanwhile, were solid in their friendly game against El Salvador, securing a 4-0 win. Though they could put up a solid challenge against Mexico, they are unlikely to emerge victorious. The game will likely end in a narrow win for the young Mexican side.
Prediction: Mexico 2-1 Guatemala.
