We have arrived at the Semifinals in the Concacaf Nations League, and we have some familiar faces on the four teams making it, as the defending champions, the USA, and the always present Mexico, are fighting for a spot in the finals.
The Tri will be facing Panama, an interesting matchup as this would be the third time these teams face each other in the last twelve months.
Both of the previous games ended up with Mexico taking the victory on a 1-0 score, and this raises a question: Will Panama manage to break through and beat their boogeyman, or will the Mexican team repeat the feat for the third time?
We are eager to see how things unfold in tomorrow’s match, but we first have to take the time to break things down. Let’s start to cover half of this exciting stage in the CONCACAF Nations League Semifinals.

Why Bet on Panama?
When it comes to performances made during this tournament, Panama has been doing an excellent showcase of their skills, entering undefeated and having only conceded two goals in four matches while scoring nine.
They are also entering this clash fueled by the opportunity to avenge their past losses at the hands of the Mexican team, which would make for a great story for them to remember in the following years. The two losses were in the summer of 2023, by 1-0, and for the CONCACAF Gold Cup and Nations League.
However, things will not be easy, so they must put it all on the line with their limited resources.
Why bet on Mexico?
With the results from their last three matches being a victory for Mexico by a single goal, El Tri should be entering this match with as much confidence as the betting odds point out.
Mexico has been struggling a little, even though they were expected to be on a cruise, being the winners of the 2023 Gold Cup, but their hard-fought clash with Honduras proved that it’d be no easy feat.
However, we expect Mexico to kick it into full gear once they face Panama in their next clash. They may have not had a lot of luck in their last finals, especially against their classic rivals from the north. Nevertheless, they should try to keep their almost perfect record of presence at that instance.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Panama vs. Mexico
The Centro-Americans have a pretty sour story when it comes to facing Mexico, as in their long story of matches, they have only won 5 times. The teams have drawn 12 duels, but the Tri has taken victories in 25 encounters.
With that in mind, we are not expecting things to be much different this time, Â and we can see Mexico fighting it out in the final as Panama tries to land 3rd place in the Cup.
Our predicted score is 2-1 in favor of the Greens, as we expect the Canaleros to make it tight when the ball gets to the field this Saturday.
Go for a victory for Mexico at 1.61. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $100 for a total payout of $161.
