A big CONCACAF Gold Cup final is about to start at a neutral venue in California, USA, with a strong Mexican and Panamanian team. Although Mexico has won the title eight times in its history, they will have to be more cautious against Panama, which has a solid defense. Panama had eliminated the previous champion USA in the quarterfinals, showing great resilience. In this do-or-die match, both sides will be going all out for a win. Looking back at the past three meetings between the two teams, the total number of goals scored has not exceeded 2 goals, so this game is also expected to be below the average of 2.5 goals.

Mexico and the U.S. have always been dominant in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Mexico has even made it to the final for three consecutive years. However, this year's opponent is not the former enemy of the United States, which makes Mexico's chances of winning the championship greatly improved. However, because of the widespread attention, the psychological pressure on the players has also increased, and it is expected that they will be more cautious in the battle, to avoid being caught by the opponent's opportunity to take risks. Looking back on Mexico's performance in the past two finals, whether it was a 1-0 win over the United States, or 0-1 overtime defeat to the United States in the last session, have shown their conservative strategy in the final.
