The Mexican national team ranks 13th in the FIFA world rankings, and first in Central and North America. Mexico beat Asian team Iraq 4-0 in warm-up match a week ago and put in a good performance.
Mexico hasn’t scored in 4 of the last 10 appearances, and the team’s offensive form has been relatively stable. The team nicknamed Los Tricolores is now coached by Gerardo Martino. The Argentine coach managed to lead Mexico to become one of the best teams in the world and even beat many European teams.
On the other hand, Sweden ranks 25th in the world and 14th in Europe. In the last 10 matches between the two teams, Sweden won 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and the team got 80% of the points.
Tonight’s game is played in Girona, Spain, and Mexico has no home advantage. Sweden has scored 4 goals in the last three matches, surpassing the previous seven, and has made some progress in attack.
Under the tutelage of Janne Andersson, Sweden has a record of 1 draw and 4 defeats in the last five matches, including from Norway and Serbia, the two top European teams who won home and away matches.
However the 60 year old coach has played against Mexico once in his coaching career and won the match. This result is certainly a mainstay for Blågult to face Mexico.
It’s a shame Sweden is not included in the 2022 World Cup schedule in Qatar. However, playing against Mexico is certainly a golden opportunity for Sweden to field young players.
