Mexico
After shocking Argentina in their first match, they fell back to earth in their last one in a 2-0 loss to Poland.
If they beat Mexico and Poland beats Argentina by three goals in the other Group C match then they will advance to the last 16 for only the second time ever.
Mexico has one points from two matches and they lost their last match 2-0 to Argentina. El Tri have advanced to the knockout stage of every single World Cup since 1994 but to keep that streak alive they must:
- Mexico must beat Saudi Arabia and have Poland beat Argentina
- Get past Saudi Arabia by four or more goals if Argentina and Poland draw
- Plus beat Saudi Arabia by five or more goals if Argentina beats Poland
The big question for El Tri in this match is can they score? You can see above in the two scenarios how many goals they may need to score to progress and that is because in the two World Cup matches, they have been shut out in each.
Mexico MF Andres Guardado limped off before the half in the last match and his status is uncertain. Alexis Vega and Hirving Lozano started up front in the loss to Argentina and both were substituted after failing to put any pressure on the defense.
In the loss El Tri only had four shots and only one shot on goal. With Mexico needing goals they may start attacking MF Edson Alvarez from Ajax and striker Raul Jimenez.
El Tri will push forward the whole match since they need to win and get goals.
However, they will also have to look for the counterattack with Saudi Arabia needing a win. Mexico has to change things up in the offensive side of the pitch after failing to score a goal in their first two matches in Qatar.
Saudi Arabia
While MF Abdulelah Al-Malki is out for this match after picking up his second yellow card in the last match DF Riyad Sharahili is back in form after an injury.
The duo of Salem Al-Dawsari and Saleh Al-Shehri each found the back of the net in the win over Argentina. They will feature up front again and hope to get more luck than in the last match when they were handed a clean sheet.
Saudi Arabia was solid in the last match besting Poland in time of possession (64% to 36%), shots (16-5), and shots on goal (5-3). They gave up a goal late on a bad mistake and they cannot let that happen against Mexico.
The Saudis need a win so they will not pack the defense but with Mexico desperately needing goals they need to pounce on counter-attack opportunities.
Free Saudi Arabia vs. Mexico Prediction
Mexico will snap out of their offensive funk in this match and get some goals. However, with their defense vulnerable they will not keep a clean sheet.
El Tri will have a solid match and beat Saudi Arabia 3-1 and hope that Poland can beat Argentina in the other group match.
