Saudi Arabia vs Mexico Match Preview

Saudi Arabia face Mexico in the third matchday of the third group of the FIFA World Cup 2022.

The Saudis, after beating Argentina 2-1, lost to Poland 2-0 in a game they could have avoided defeat as they also missed a penalty in the dying minutes of the first half. The Saudi Arabian team shows a lot of passion on the pitch and has players with enough quality to qualify for the knock-out stage of the tournament. With a win here, they definitely go to the next stage, while with a draw, they need a win by Poland in the other match of the group or a win by Argentina with at least three goals.

The Mexicans, on the other hand, played a bore draw in their opener against Poland and lost 2-0 to Argentina, confirming their offensive deficit. The Mexican team in all the previous final stages of the FIFA World Cup that participated, they managed to qualify for the last sixteen where their run ended, something that they'd achieve again in case of a win tonight and at the same time, the other two teams of the group do not draw. If Argentina wins then Mexico needs to cover the goal difference they have with Poland.

In conclusion, I expect a game in which both sides will give a lot of strength to get the qualification, but the Saudis, with the push of their fans and possibly by a "friendly" referee, had a slight advantage not to lose. The double chance 1X is offered at decent 2.20 odds and I'll stake 3 units.
