Concacaf Nations League picks for Mexico vs. Panama
Before you tune in to Sunday's match, you need to see the Concacaf Nations League picks from betting expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for nearly five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe. He was SportsLine's top soccer expert in 2022 with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He was also a profitable 24-19 on MLS picks.
For Panama vs. Mexico, Sutton is picking Under 2.5 goals at a -135 payout. Both squads coming off shutout losses in the semifinals doesn't inspire much confidence that the third-place game will be high-scoring, especially with motivation not likely to be that high. Also, recent meetings between these squads have been defensive battles with goals few and far between.
These teams have met twice within the last 18 months, with both coming during 2022 World Cup qualifying. They played to a 1-1 draw in the first meeting, with Mexico winning 1-0 in the second. Those contests were just a microcosm of the longer-term history between these two as six of the last nine Mexico vs. Panama matchups have seen under 2.5 total goals.
"Under 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Panama's last six matches, while Mexico has scored one goal or less in five of their last nine fixtures overall," Sutton told SportsLine. Stream the game here.
