Los Canaleros want to end Mexico's perfect run in the tournament, but El Tri is one point away from securing their spot among the top four. Who'll come out on top?

What has been Panama and Mexico's form ahead of this game?

Panama makes it to this game with only one win out of their last five games. To make matters worse, all of those games were competitive, which makes Los Canaleros desperate to claim all the points when Mexico visits them. Panama will try to avoid a heavy loss against Mexico to keep their chances of making it to the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup without the need of playing any preliminary stage.

Mexico has won three games in a row, including their first CONCACAF Nations League clashes. El Tri has scored ten goals, while their defense has conceded twice. All in all, Mexico has won thirteen of their 15 games this year, with their only loss being that 4-0 thumping against Argentina.

What position do Panama and Mexico hold in their CONCACAF Nations League group?

Mexico tops Group B in League A of the CONCAF Nations League after two games. One more win for Gerardo Martino's men would secure their spot in the Final Four of the competition. On the other side of the pitch, Panama is second with three points and a -1 in their goal difference, which may be crucial for their CONCACAF Gold Cup chances.

Panama vs Mexico - Head to head

  • This will be the 20th game between Mexico and Panama.

  • Mexico has beaten Panama in 12 of their previous 19 games.

  • Panama has only beaten Mexico twice. Curiously, both of those wins came in the 2013 Gold Cup, when Los Canaleros claimed similar 2-1 wins against El Tri in the group stage of the tournament and in the semi-finals.

  • Mexico's last away game against Panama took place on November 15, 2016. That game ended in a goalless draw.

Panama vs Mexico - Who's in and who's out?

Panama is currently undergoing a generational change, following the retirement of many of their stars. Hence, coach Americo Gallego will rely on the experience of Alberto Quintero, Román Torres and Anibal Godoy to lead the team to another win against El Tri. Striker Jorlián Sánchez and midfielder Angel Orelien will be some of the young players trying to make an impression, especially since both of them play for Mexican clubs Leones Negros and Cruz Azul, respectively.

Mexico's coach Gerardo Martino left some of his finest players out of this squad, focusing on calling up some of his best youngsters. Martino will not have striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernández as his main absence due to an alleged indiscipline, while LA Galaxy's Jonathan Dos Santos's will be out after picking up a muscular injury.
