The question arises because last year was considered by Mexican fans and the press as the worst year for the Mexican national team in the Tata Martino era.

For this reason, everyone wants to know how both teams are coming into today's match at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula, Honduras

Who won the most meetings in 2021 between Mexico and Honduras?

Last year, which was considered the worst year for the Mexican National Team in the Tata Martino era, Mexico won 2 out of 3 matches against the Honduran national soccer team

In 1 of those matches, both teams ended in a draw, while in the other 2, Mexico showed its superiority by beating the Honduran team by a landslide. 

How was the Mexico vs Honduras clashes in 2021?

In their first meeting last year, a friendly match was held at the Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, in the United States, where Mexico has thousands of fans, both teams tied 0-0. 

In a match in which there was not much attacking and which ended without both teams hurting each other, and in which Mexico had 70% of the possession of the ball, compared to 30% for Honduras. 

However, on that occasion, they did not make that ball possession count, even though they had a trident of Alan Pulido, Orbelín Pineda, and Jesús Manuel "Tecatito" Corona upfront.

Thus concluded their first duel last year, played on June 12, 2021

In their second duel last year played on July 24 in the Gold Cup, Mexico swept Honduras with goals from Rogelio Funes Mori, Jonathan dos Santos, and Orbelín Pineda

In that match, possession of the ball was a little more closely contested, but while Honduras had 34% possession, Mexico had 66%, with which they were able to score the 3 goals for their triumph at the Phoenix University Stadium, in Glendale, Arizona in the United States. 

And in their last meeting in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, on October 10, 2021, Mexico once again won 3-0.

The match played at the Azteca Stadium was another crushing victory for El Tri, with goals from Hirving Lozano, Gabriel Funes Mori, and Francisco Córdova, sealing the victory. 

Therefore, Mexico comes with the advantage of having won their previous duels and with the experience of knowing how to handle playing away in Honduras. 

Will this be the occasion in which Honduras achieves the feat of beating Mexico in the Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers? We will know when the ball starts rolling.
