Mexico vs Panama Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

El Tri were the better side the last time they battled Panama.

The Mexico national football team are ready to host the Panama national football team for the Concacaf Nations League 2024-25 final. The hosts defeated Canada with ease in their last game which earned them a spot in the finale. The visitors are coming in after defeating the USA in a close encounter.

We will see a new champion this time around as the United States of America did not make it to the final two spots. Although Canada had a better attacking rate than the Mexico national football team, El Tri took their chances and scored a couple of goals to seal the win. They did not let Canadians score any goals.

Even though Panama are coming in after defeating the defending Concacaf Nations League champions, it is not going to be an easy game for them. The Panama national football team scored a late goal which helped them get through. Mexico are going to give Panama a tough time.
