The Mexican national team will visit Honduras this Sunday in a match that, in case of victory for the Aztecs, could qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. And despite the fact that the ‘Tri’ starts as the wide favorite to win the victory, there is a recent statistic between the direct confrontations that makes everyone’s hair stand on end fans.
And it is that in recent confrontations, Mexico has had to struggle more than necessary in their away games against the Honduran national team. In fact, the ‘Tri’ has its worst effectiveness rate in Concacaf.
And it is that in the last four visits from Mexico to Honduras, the Aztec team has only achieved a draw, a result that would not serve the ‘Tri’ at all in their aspirations to get their ticket to the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
1 of 12 possible points in the recent visits to Honduras, which translates into an 8.3% effectiveness rate, but the fact is that Honduran territory has always been a hostile area for Mexico, since it lasted 22 years without being able to win as a visitor and barely broke this long drought in the previous phase of the hexagonal heading to to the World Cup in Russia 2018.
The Mexican national team will face Honduras in difficult situations. Completely adverse, because while the ‘Tri’ must necessarily win to try to get their place in the world cup, the catrachos are bottom of the octagonal with only 4 units, without having achieved their first victory in the 12 days played so far and without any possibility of qualifying for Qatar 2022.
