The CONCACAF Nations League heats up this week, as the first legs in the quarterfinal stage are held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mexico have lost in successive finals in the competition in recent years, and they will be looking to go one better under Javier Aguirre in 2024-25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nation comes into this first leg after winning two of their last three internationals, and they have kept clean sheets in their last four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honduras qualified for this stage after winning two of their four matches in qualification, scoring a Group B-high of eight goals in the process. However, this is an increased challenge against an impressive Mexican outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mexico will be heavily favored in the odds this week at -163. A home victory for Honduras is overlooked in the betting at +425.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
