Argentina vs Mexico Prediction & Tips
A decisive match awaits us this Saturday at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Lusail, when two teams in need of victory, Argentina and Mexico, face each other on the second day of Group D of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The team coached by Lionel Scaloni was surprised in their World Cup debut, when they lost 1-2 in their game against Saudi Arabia, a result that jeopardizes the qualification of the Albiceleste to the next stage.
Let’s remember that the defeat against Arabia led Argentina to break a 36-game unbeaten streak, which included the Copa America title, as well as the Finalissima title against Italy 3-0.
Now the Albiceleste has no choice but to go out against Mexico to win, and for this Scaloni is making a series of changes, especially in the defensive zone where the entry of Marcos Acuña and Lisandro Martínez is expected.
On the other hand, the team coached by “Tata” Martino could not get the victory in their game against Poland against whom they tied 0-0. Despite controlling the match, they were unable to open the scoreboard and even came close to losing it, as Robert Lewandowski wasted a penalty kick.
The truth is that El Tri Azteca is clearly showing its irregularity, winning only two of its last seven games in all competitions. In addition, with the draw against Poland, Mexico’s national team has now gone three consecutive games without a win in World Cups where they not only lost two of them, but also failed to score goals.
To face Argentina, it seems that Martino will decide to start Raúl Jiménez in the attack, although nothing is confirmed at the moment.
Let’s keep in mind that Mexico has not only lost its last three games against Argentina by an aggregate score of 8-0, but has not been defeated by the Albiceleste in six of the last seven head-to-head games.
