Why Bet on Mexico
If you ask the Mexicans, there isn’t much faith in this team. Coach Gerardo Martino has been widely criticized for his calls and the level of the team.
In this last call, it was questioned whether they should take Raúl Jiménez, who has not played for Wolverhampton since August 31 after being injured again, or Rogelio Funes Mori (Monterrey), who is Argentine, and who has left out players like Santiago Giménez (Feyenoord), Diego Lainez (Sporting Braga) or ‘Chicharito’ Hernández (Los Angeles Galaxy).
Regarding the results, they won 2 (Peru and Iraq) and lost 3 (Paraguay, Colombia, and Sweden) of their last 5 games, and in the Concacaf qualifiers, they were second to Canada.
Among the hopes of the Mexicans is Guillermo Ochoa (37 years old). The goalkeeper of America raises a lot of questions, but always grows in these appointments, although there is concern about the age of the trio of goalkeepers: Alfredo Talavera is 40, and Rodolfo Cota is 35.
Andrés Guardado, Héctor Herrera, Edson Álvarez, Hirving Lozano, and Raúl Jiménez himself, who are the most experienced in Europe, should lead the ‘Tri’.
Why Bet on Poland
Poland qualified for the World Cup after beating Sweden 2-0 in the playoffs and dreams of moving past the group stage after being eliminated in the last 3 World Cups in that phase. In all of them, they won only 1 game and lost 2.
As we mentioned in our Group C Preview, since the Lewandowski era started more than 10 years ago, Poland stopped being an anonymous team and began having excellent qualification phases. However, they always seem to choke in the big stages.
Robert Lewandowski (34 years old) arrives at his last big event and dreams of being able to score in Qatar 2022, after having been blanked in Russia back in 2018.
Along with him will be other outstanding players such as Wojciech Szczesny (Juventus), Piotr Zielinski (Napoli), and Arkadiusz Milik (Juventus), whom the Polish trust to lead the team to the round of 16.
In the last UEFA Nations League, they did not have a good presentation, finishing third with 7 points after winning both games against Wales and drawing with the Netherlands. A few days ago they faced Chile and beat them 1-0 with a goal from Krzysztof Piatek late on.
Final Betting Analysis: Mexico vs. Poland
They are two teams that have good things and bad things. Although their style of play is very different, we believe that both are going to hurt each other and suffer the consequences of their failures, so it may be a draw where both teams score.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Poland is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of +173, while Mexico has +182 and the draw is at +204.
The last time they met was on November 13, 2017, in a friendly that Mexico won 0-1 in Poland with a goal from Raúl Jiménez. In the 78 World Cup in Argentina, they met in the group stage and the Poles won 3-1.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the draw at +204, you will gain $204 for a total payout of $304.
