Concacaf World Cup qualifying picks for El Salvador vs. Mexico

Before you tune in to Wednesday's World Cup qualifiers, you need to see the Concacaf World Cup qualifiers picks from soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $37,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

For Mexico vs. El Salvador, Green is betting Mexico to win and under 3.5 goals scored at -120 odds. Both squads have conservative approaches that yield low-scoring games. In fact, of their 26 combined games in this round of qualifying (13 apiece), all of them have had fewer than 3.5 combined goals.

Mexico's games have averaged 1.77 total goals, as the team has allowed the second-fewest goals in qualifying. El Salvador isn't far ahead with an average of 1.85 combined goals. El Salvador has also scored the second-fewest goals among the eight CONCACAF teams.

"[Mexico] beat El Salvador 2-0 on the road when the teams met back in October," Green told SportsLine. "Defender Héctor Moreno opened the scoring on 30 minutes, and a last-gasp penalty from Jiménez wrapped up the victory. That was Mexico's ninth consecutive win against El Salvador. It conceded only four goals in those nine games against La Selecta."
