Javier Aguirre will hope to build on Mexico's great performance against the USMNT in the Nations League quarterfinals vs. Honduras.
Mexico is faces Honduras in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals hoping to end 2024's international action by advancing to the semifinals of the competition.
El Tri hopes to build from the strong performance last time out defeating USA in its last game of the October international break. Javier Aguirre's men must avoid a repeat of what happened the last time El Tri visited Honduras losing 2-0. With a more experienced manager on the touchline, the expectation is that there's a different outcome this time around with a squad more than capable of getting a positive result.
Johan Vázquez was forced to withdraw from the squad and return to Italy to deal with an injury, so Aguirre will have to alter his preferred center back pairing and more pressure will fall on César Montes to lead. Aguirre favored a 4-2-3-1 in Mexico's best performance in years against the US men's national team.
