The Argentina national team match against the Mexico in the 2nd week of the 2022 World Cup group C phase, Saturday, November 26, 2022 will be held at the Lusail Iconic Stadium (Lusail) Stadium. The second half against Mexico was the first game of life and death for Argentina in this World Cup. They have to win if they don’t want to pick up their bags early.
After Qatar’s World Cup group draw, compared to Spain, Germany, Portugal, France and other favorite teams to win the championship, Argentina’s draw is actually very good.
Being in group C, Mexico has been the underdog for years. Poland is not strong enough, and Saudi Arabia is even worse, seen as a mere complement.
It makes sense that with Argentina’s unbeaten condition in the last 36 matches, coupled with Lionel Messi’s fighting spirit which can be seen through the results achieved at club level, La Albiceleste should be able to overcome every opponent in Group C.
However, Argentina underestimated the enemy too much, their first game ended in a humiliating defeat to Saudi Arabia. Relying on the experience of playing in Qatar, solid defense and efficient counterattacks, Saudi Arabia made Argentina suffer in the first battle and had to occupy the lowest position in the standings.
Fortunately, Poland and Mexico only drew in the first half, without even scoring a goal, so Argentina still has a greater chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds on the condition that they have to win the remaining two matches including against Mexico tonight.
Mexico itself has been in a mediocre state recently, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in 5 friendly matches. The two opponents they defeated were Iraq and Peru.
Statistically, Argentina is more dominant than Mexico. In 5 head-to-head matches, Argentina won 4 times, and 1 draw. Will Lionel Scaloni continue to maintain the 4-2-3-1 formation when he lost to Saudi Arabia, or will he change it to the 4-4-1-1 formation that has been the mainstay of Argentina? We will see later.
So, who do you think will win? Argentina or Mexico? Don’t miss watching this match which kicks off at 14:00 EDT. The following is related information about the Argentina vs. Mexico match:
