The fourth installment of the CONCACAF Nations League is underway and the United States looks to make it four championships in a row as League A is at the second leg of the quarterfinals.
CONCACAF is still a region dominated by the United States and Mexico, although things have been bumpier in recent years.
The Copa América saw both of the regional titans fall out at the group stage as Canada has looked to assert itself as a regional power as the three countries prepare to co-host the 2026 World Cup.
All three teams brought in new managers, and this tournament will let us see how much progress this new leadership will bring as far as World Cup preparation is concerned.

Mexico -380 vs Honduras +1025
Both gives us, Honduras’ legitimate shot at a semifinal in the CONCACAF Nations League for the first time since 2019-20.
We had this same scenario a year ago, though, as Honduras won 2-0 at home in the first quarterfinal leg, only to fall 2-0 on the road and then succumb on penalties.
Friday saw El Tri take their first loss by Javier Aguirre in his third go-round as manager – and the first time his side had permitted a goal since he came back. El Tri have never been beaten at home in Nations League play.
They had to come from behind to stop Bermuda, 2-1, in their only other Nations League match in Toluca.
They haven’t seen a two-game winless streak against Central American teams since 2017, when they drew 1-1 with Costa Rica and then lost, 3-2, to Honduras.
Furthermore, they also have made at least the semifinals of every CONCACAF tournament since 2005, when Colombia sent them home in the quarters of the 2005 Gold Cup.
Even so, El Tri have looked shaky in recent years, and you can only play suspect defense for so long before the upset comes.
Take the draw and Honduras to advance.
^Belize +169 vs French Guiana +139
This game is an intriguing match under the radar.
Belize won the home fixture on Thursday and have won four of the seven all-time meetings between these two national teams.
French Guiana won the other two meetings, with the seventh ending in a draw. Nations League has not been kind to French Guiana as they have one win, five losses, and a draw in seven matches.
Belize, have won six matches and lost one in its seven contests. So how is Belize just a +110 moneyline here?
Well, this is life in the quieter parts of CONCACAF – teams go under the radar, and matches don’t always have the right balance on the line.
Also, Belize is not as consistent as some of the higher teams in CONCACAF. Even so, taking them to go on the road and win makes sense here.
Belize to win.
