Both these teams are qualified for the 2019 U-20 World Cup, thanks to the fact that both teams beat El Salvador 1-0 in their preceding games of the Qualifying Stage of the 2018 CONCACAF Men’s U-20 Championship.
This match will determine which of these sides wins Group H of the Qualifying Stage and advances to the final of this tournament. A tie in this game would be settled by a comparison of fair play points, or the drawing of lots if the teams’ disciplinary records in the Qualifying Stage are identical.
Mexico is the favorite in this game, largely because Mexico has historically dominated the CONCACAF men’s U-20 championship.
