There is less and less time left to meet the three Concacaf countries that will have a participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The last days of the Octagonal will define the top three places and the Mexican National Team will fight for a safe place in the World Cup.

As part of his second elimination match he will face his Honduran counterpart at the Metropolitan Olympic Stadium in San Pedro Sula, Honduras at 5:05pm in Central Mexico. The Tri will play the match without the presence of Gerardo Tata Martino, because due to health problems he was unable to travel with the team.

If Mexico wants to ensure its qualification for Qatar 2022 once, it is forced to beat the Hondurans and avoid complications on the last date.

With 22 points so far, the Tricolor is placed third in the standings, so until now it would have its pass secured to the World Cup. However, due to the difference in points with Costa Rica and Panama, there is a possibility that a series of combinations will occur that will displace the Aztec team.

So the ibTata Martino team must win their last games in order not to run the risk of reaching the playoff zone. The ticket to Qatar 2022 will depend solely on the work of the tricolor squad and the results they add up on the court.

The Mexicans are tied in points with the United States, if Mexico wins and the US loses, the national team could aspire to second place and already be sure of their move to Qatar. But if he draws and the Americans win or draw, there will be no change in the table.

If they tied, Mexico would still have doubts about their entry to the World Cup and everything would be defined in the last game of the Octagonal as it would have 23 points; until now Costa Rica is in fourth place with 19 points and if they win, the difference in score with the Tri would be only one point.

If they lose, the picture would become more complicated as the chances of falling to fourth place increase, which forces them to play a continental playoff to go to the world championship.
