The XI that will give #PorMexicoTodo on this Final! ???? — Mexican National Team (@miseleccionmxEN) July 6, 2025 ? USA 2, Mexico 2 (USA wins 4-3 in penalties): This won't be easy for USMNT, but it's time to see if they're going to answer the call -- not just on the pitch, but engaging the country's interest to another level before the World Cup. -- Safid Deen ? Mexico 2, USA 1: This is a tall task for the -- outside of veteran defender Tim Ream -- largely green USMNT. The 70,000-seat NRG Stadium is going to be filled with El Tri fans and the place might feel more like Estadio Azteca, Mexico City's cauldron of sound and fury that has been a bugaboo for the U.S. One also has to wonder how much the U.S. has left in the tank, as coach Mauricio Pochettino hasn't done much to mix up the starting lineups. Mexico comes in having lost its last three finals against the USMNT and will be highly motivated to turn the tide. Just like the USMNT, this is Mexico's last real competitive match until the 2026 World Cup. -- Jim Reineking Why? ALEXI LALAS HAS ARRIVED ON A HORSE IN HOUSTON ????????????@AlexiLalas — FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) July 6, 2025 According to BetMGM on Sunday afternoon, these are the odds for the regular-time result of the match: Mexico +150; Draw +185; USA +210. Mexico are favorites to lift the trophy (-135) over the U.S. (+105). You ask former U.S. men's national soccer team standouts Marcelo Balboa and Stu Holden about the Concacaf Gold Cup final, and the competitive spirit just oozes from their soul. Especially since USMNT will face its biggest rival, Mexico, in the Sunday, July 6 match at NRG Stadium in Houston. "Listen, you never want to lose to Mexico," Balboa, 57, told USA TODAY Sports, before he joins the Gold Cup's Spanish-language broadcast on Univision, TUDN and ViX. "I'm retired. I haven't played against Mexico a long time. Even when I play in the old legends games, I don't want to lose to Mexico." -- Safid Deen MORE: Has the USMNT already won at this Gold Cup? The Gold Cup is a biennial tournament for national teams in the North and Central American and Caribbean region associated with Concacaf. Mexico (nine times), the U.S. (seven times) and Canada (one time) are the only nations to have won the Gold Cup. Mexico won the last Gold Cup competition in 2023.

2025 Gold Cup Odds: Notable Prop Bets Ahead of USA-Mexico Final
The U.S. men's national soccer team is just one win away from claiming its eighth Gold Cup title, with its last victory occurring in 2021. After an exciting penalty shootout triumph over Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, and a 2-1 win over Guatemala in the semifinals, the U.S. is entering the final as the underdog. On the other side, Mexico recently secured a 1-0 victory over Honduras in the semifinals. El Tri's Cesar Montes has scored three goals in the tournament, while U.S. stars Diego Luna and Malik Tillman have matched that mark with three goals each. Defensively, Mexico has been strong, not allowing a goal since its group-stage opener against the Dominican Republic. In contrast, the U.S. men's national team has conceded one goal in each of its last three matches. As we head into the final, the question remains: Will Mexico, the favorite to take home the trophy, or can the underdog U.S. pull off an upset?

How to watch Mexico vs Saudi Arabia live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Mexico's bid to repeat as CONCACAF Gold Cup champions hits a non-CONCACAF road block on Saturday when tournament invitee Saudi Arabia hits Glendale, Arizona. El Tri won Group A with two wins and a scoreless draw against Costa Rica, while Saudi Arabia beat Haiti and lost to the United States before drawing with Trinidad and Tobago to secure a place in the knockout rounds. Advertisement Mexico are also bidding to become the first 10-time winner of the Gold Cup. For live updates and highlights throughout Mexico vs Saudi Arabia, check out PST's live blog coverage below.

West Ham United's Edson Alvarez leads a strong midfield, and Raul Jimenez and Santiago Gimenez give Javier Aguirre plenty of danger up top Saudi Arabia team news, focus The Saudis have only conceded two goals in this tournament, a record bettered only by the USMNT and Canada.

Mexico vs Saudi Arabia prediction It's difficult to do this, but do it — forget the fact that the Saudis beat Argentina at the 2024 World Cup. If you're not willing to forget that result, which was three years ago, think of it as the first match of a 2W-9L-1D run that included losses to Oman and Bolivia. Arizona is going to be a veritable home atmosphere for El Tri, who would be favored on a neutral ground, and the Saudis are missing their Al-Hilal representation (12 different Al-Hilal players have been called up in the next 12 months). This would be a stunner if it didn't go the way of Javier Aguirre's El Tri. Mexico 2-0 Saudi Arabia.
