Argentina v Mexico Prediction – Preview
Argentina
Argentina currently are at the bottom of the Group B table. They had a shock defeat to underdogs Saudi Arabia, 1-2, at the Lusail Stadium. On just 10 minutes, Lionel Messi fired La Albiceleste ahead from the spot after Leandro Paredes was fouled by Al Bulayahi. However, another goal from Messi and two from Lautaro Martinez were disallowed after they were judged to be offside. The Al-Akhdar then surprised everyone after the half as Saleh Alshehri and Salem Aldawsari netted within a span of five minutes to complete the comeback. This served as a rude awakening for Lionel Scaloni’s squad, who must know win the next two games to keep their Cup dreams alive. Can they do so against Mexico, who themselves avoided defeat in the opener?
Mexico
Mexico are currently third in Group B after drawing with Poland 0-0 at the Stadium 974. Both EL Tri and Bialo-Czerwoni failed to create chances, and when Hector Moreno’s takedown of Robert Lewandowski resulted in a penalty, the Pole was promptly denied by Guillermo Ochoa. Mexcio manager Gerardo Martino lamented the draw, admitting his men “lacked accuracy in front of goal”. The Argentine-born boss will now lead his squad against his former side, with the likes of Hirving Lozano, Edson Alvarez and veteran Andres Guardado looking to make an impact. Will they be able to deny La Albiceleste yet again in this competition?

Argentina v Mexico Prediction – Final Thoughts
With Argentina’s heartbreaking opener, they will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. They should be able to return to their winning form, but it will be a challenge against Mexico, with Ochoa in his element. We do see, however, La Albiceleste learning from their mistakes and eking out a dramatic win over El Tri. With that, let’s take a look at our prediction.
