After making a big surprise at the World Cup by beating Argentina 1-2, Saudi Arabia finally suffered their first defeat from Poland 2-0.
Under the tutelage of Hervé Renard, Saudi Arabia appeared more confident. The holder of the 51st FIFA ranking managed to qualify for this World Cup by winning 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.
The “West Asia Green Eagle” team has Al-Dawsari who can be considered a star. In the qualifying rounds of the World Cup preliminaries, he scored 7 goals in 13 appearances and was the core of the team’s attack.
This player with excellent ball holding ability and outstanding shooting skills will become the Saudi Arabian team’s wing attack weapon. Additionally, captain Farage who is deployed in midfield has excellent organizational skills and is a key figure in linking the team.
On the other hand, Mexico is one of the experienced teams in the World Cup. Since the 1994 World Cup, Mexico has entered the knockout stage for 7 consecutive World Cups, but has also stopped in the quarter-finals for 7 consecutive times. The goalkeeper of the Mexican team Ochoa has the titles of “God Warrior” and “Six Finger Goalkeeper”. He often played against strong teams like Brazil and Germany, and was able to keep clean sheets.
Los Tricolores only shared points against Poland in the first round, but in the second round against Argentina, the 5-3-2 defensive formation was completely out of shape as Mexico lost 2-0.
Being in group C, Mexico still has the chance to qualify for the knockout system, provided they have to win big over Saudi Arabia, and Poland lost badly to Argentina. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia also has the same opportunity.
