The CONCACAF Gold Cup continues Saturday with a quarterfinals matchup between Mexico and Honduras in a 10 p.m. ET kickoff at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. Below, we preview the Mexico vs. Honduras odds and lines, and make our best CONCACAF Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.
Mexico won Group A despite a slow start against Trinidad & Tobago. Panic set in among the El Tri faithful, but Mexico quelled those fears with a sound 3-0 beating of Guatemala and won the group with a 1-0 clincher over El Salvador Sunday.
Honduras spanked Grenada 4-0 in its group play opener and edged Panama 3-2. However, it lost a decisive match to Qatar 2-0 to finish second in Group D.

Prediction
Mexico 1, Honduras 0
Money line (ML)
Mexico (-250) will cost you two and a half times your potential return, and that’s quite a bit more expensive than I am comfortable with.
This is a quarterfinals match which El Tri ‘should’ dominate. Mexico is 7-4-4 in its last 15 meetings in international play against its Central American counterparts.
AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (-125) is the best play on the board here. Mexico ground out a 1-0 win over El Salvador in its third and final group play match, and you can expect a similar result here.
Honduras was shut down against Qatar and will struggle to make scoring chances happen against a much better Mexican side.
