Saudi Arabia vs Mexico World Cup 2022 – Match Preview

Both of these teams will be in varying degrees of contention to advance to the World Cup knockout stage, so approaching this match with caution will provide the best chance of achieving a result.

Saudi Arabia will be overjoyed to be in this position, facing a wounded Mexico team knowing that a win puts them in the knockout round, while a draw only gets them in if Argentina annihilates Poland and destroys their goal differential.

Meanwhile, Mexico is gasping for air. With only one point, they need to win big and have Argentina destroy Poland in order to catch the European nation on goal differential. Despite this, El Tri has yet to score a goal in two games and has shown no signs of attacking flair.

“Tata” Martino’s job is on life support, and he’s already feeling the heat as the tournament approaches, so he’ll be sure to pull out all the stops. It’ll be interesting to see what stops he has to call, because so far, they’ve been underwhelming.

Mexico Lineups, Form and Team News

Mexico, who are currently bottom of Group C, cannot afford to name a weakened team for their final group game.

However, there could be changes up front, with neither Hirving Lozano nor Alexis Vega making an impact in the loss to Argentina. However, it remains to be seen whether Raul Jimenez will be trusted to lead the line in light of his recent fitness issues.

Andres Guardado, who became the sixth men’s player to appear in five World Cups, was injured and is a doubt for this one.

Mexico Possible Lineups (3-5-2): Ochoa; Araujo, Montes, Moreno; K. Alvarez, Chavez, Herrera, E. Alvarez, Gallardo; Lozano, Vega

Saudi Arabia vs Mexico Prediction

Saudi Arabia got off to a good start in the 2022 World Cup with a surprise victory over Argentina. However, after a 2-0 loss to Poland, the Saudis must now win this Round 3 game of the group-stage fixtures to advance.

Mexico, on the other hand, is at the bottom of Group C with a point from two games, and their chances of progressing are extremely slim.

The final group-stage match between Saudi Arabia and Mexico promises to be a slugfest. While Saudi has failed to keep a clean sheet in both games, they have been solid at the back in most instances, so expect a hard-fought match with fewer than three goals.

Mexico, on the other hand, is desperate for points, so they are expected to put on one of their best performances in this game, especially in terms of defending.

A Saudi victory is also very likely. They exceeded expectations by defeating Argentina in their first game. Mexico, on the other hand, is in danger of exiting the 2022 World Cup without scoring a goal. Mexico has failed to score in both of its games, while Saudi Arabia has scored twice.
