    Verdict

    Fifty years on from winning their only CONCACAF Championship/Gold Cup, Haiti are looking to make history once more.
    Gabriel Calderon Pellegrino's side are in terrific form as they arrive for the fixture with six straight wins under their belt.
    The last of those victories was a 2-1 success against Qatar in the opening match of Haiti's Gold Cup campaign.
    Mexico also got off to a winning start as the team enjoyed a 4-0 thrashing over Honduras.
    Interim boss Jaime Lozano is leading the record 11-time champions through this latest edition of the Gold Cup.
    Mexico have lost just one of their last nine games - a 3-0 defeat to the United States in the Nations League semi-final.
    The Tricolor are favourites to go all the way and claim yet another Gold Cup triumph, and beating Haiti by a comfortable margin would certainly send Mexico on their way.
    From their last 11 head-to-head meetings, Mexico have only endured one defeat against Haiti. With that in mind, we're backing the favourites to make it two wins from two in their group.
    Backing over 2.5 goals is another potential route in the betting arena. Haiti's last six matches have seen this bet land, while three of Mexico's last four games have also seen a goal rush.
