Haiti vs Mexico Prediction & Pick

There's a good chance that Haiti's positive vibes will be wiped out later this week. Mexico is one of the top picks to win the Gold Cup and has had no issue defeating Haiti in the past, winning the two previous matchups head-to-head matchups between these countries 5-0 on aggregate.

And while Haiti might be on a six-match winning streak, none of the teams it beat over that run compare to Mexico. The Mexican squad has reached the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final six times in the last eight tournaments, highlighting their ability to get the job done. After breezing by Honduras, beating Haiti won't be that much harder.

As much as Haiti will fight to keep its undefeated run alive, Mexico is too good to suffer an upset loss here.

Final Score Prediction: Mexico: 3 | Haiti: 1

Haiti vs Mexico Best Bet

I'm getting creative with the best bet by backing Mexico to win and the total to go over 2.5 goals at +110 odds. Firstly, Mexico is the clear-cut better team, meaning winning shouldn't be an issue unless it completely collapses.

Secondly, there's a good chance that more than 2.5 goals are scored Thursday. Haiti's last five games have seen an average of five goals scored, going over 2.5 each time. Furthermore, the total has gone over 2.5 goals in three of Mexico's past four outings.

With both offenses playing well and Mexico in a good spot to win, it's clear that this bet is worth consideration.

Bet: Mexico to Win and Over 2.5 Total Goals (+110)
