Betting on Mexico
The Mexican National Team is ready to play its 17th World Cup. The road towards Qatar 2022 was a bit complicated for them, but in the end they managed to qualify. Coach Gerardo Martino has been blasted for his player selection and is once again in the crosshairs for not including Santiago Giménez and Diego Lainez, two European soccer players, on the final roster.
This is their last test before their debut in Qatar 2022, and they will have to prove that they have the elements to fight in the competition, as they will face Poland, Saudi Arabia and Argentina in the group stage. In this friendly, they’ll face Sweden, an opponent with whom they shared a group at Russia 2018 and against whom they lost by a score of 3-0.
Absences: Not reported.
Possible lineup: Guillermo Ochoa, Néstor Araujo, César Montes, Héctor Moreno, Jesús Gallardo, Esdon Álvarez, Luis Romo, Luis Chavez, Hirving Lozano, Henry Martin, Alexis Vega.
Betting on Sweden
The Swedish National Team will be one of the big absentees in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, as it did not make the cut. They are not a European power, but they have some big name players, which makes us think that they would have performed well on this occasion.
This friendly match will be beneficial not only for introducing some young players, but also for attempting to end a losing streak that has lasted since June, with a total of five matches without a win, four defeats, and a draw.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup: Robin Olsen, Joel Andersson, Isak Hien, Victor Lindelöf, Edvin Kurtulus, Viktor Claesson, Jesper Karlstrom, Emil Forsberg, Anthony Elanga, Viktor Gyökeres, Mikael Ishak.
JefeBet Prediction
Mexico left a good impression in their previous friendly match, beating Iraq 4-0 and thus rekindling their hopes of a good participation in the World Cup. “El Tri” needs to get good results that will give them confidence for the opener, and although they may not score a goal, victory seems possible.
Prediction: Mexico wins by a score of 1-0.
