On the heels of a 1-0 victory over Honduras, the Mexico National Soccer Team aims to secure World Cup qualification on Wednesday in a clash against El Salvador. Canada is the lone team to have already secured qualification to Qatar from the CONCACAF qualifiers, but both the United States and Mexico are on the precipice of booking their tickets. A win or draw against El Salvador on Wednesday would guarantee Mexico a spot in the 2022 World Cup.

In order to advance to the group stages of the World Cup, Mexico simply needs to get one point against El Salvador. If an upset occurs, however, Mexico would not be out of luck. Costa Rica would need to defeat the USA in their clash on Wednesday by a margin of at least four goals, in addition to Mexico losing, in order to take third place in the table. Even if that occurred and Mexico fell to fourth place, they'd be able to qualify for the World Cup via a playoff with an Asian nation.

El Salvador enters the game having failed to win in each of its last three matches. They managed a tie against Jamaica, but were defeated by Canada and Costa Rica. El Salvador has no chance at making the World Cup, though they could look to make Mexico's berth to Qatar vastly more difficult.

With all that out of the way, here’s all the details you need for Wednesday’s CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying match featuring Mexico and El Salvador including kickoff time, predictions, tv channel, live streaming info, and more.

Mexico vs El Salvador Predictions

These two nations most recently faced off back in October of 2021, in what was a rather heated exchange that saw players from both teams get red cards and sent off early. Mexico won the clash 2-0, with their overall talent proving too much for El Salvador to handle. Considering Mexico has its World Cup berth hanging in the balance, the team will undoubtedly be looking to secure the points by any means necessary, suggesting they could opt for a defensive-focused setup. Preventing El Salvador from getting on the score sheet will be absolutely critical for Mexico on Wednesday night, so they'll be leaning heavily upon the likes of Johan Vasquez and Cesar Montes.

With the game set to take place in Mexico, the crowd should be lively as the fans will their countrymen to a win over El Salvador. We're expecting a low-scoring affair but for Mexico to take care of business defensively and secure their place in the 2022 World Cup group stage.

With El Salvador out of form and the Mexican side yearning for a trip to Qatar, they should be able to get the job done at Estadio Azteca and secure their place in the World Cup draw.
