Saudi Arabia vs Mexico: Top Free Betting Tips
Saudi Arabia is now at risk of exiting the 2022 World World should they fail to win against Mexico in this last group-stage match. The Saudis had their spirits dimmed in a round 2 clash with Poland, so how they come back to claim their place round of 16 is important in this game against Mexico that kicks off at 19:00 GMT UK time.
Things started well for Saudi Arabia in the 2022 World Cup when they pulled a shock win over Argentina. However, a 2-0 defeat against Poland means the Saudis must now win this Round 3 game of the group-stage fixtures to progress. On the other hand, Mexico is grounded at the bottom of Group C will a point from two matches, so they have very slim chances of progressing.
Matchday odds for the 1X2 market ahead of the clash are 4.75 for Saudi Arabia to win. On the other hand, the bookies have handed Mexico odds of 1.70, which shows the Mexicans have been huge favourites to win the game. The question is if Mexico wins, by how many goals? Well, that will all depend on how Saudi Arabia turns up for the game. A draw in this game has odds of 4.20 on matchday.
Our Saudi Arabia vs Mexico predictions are:
Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5
Our first Saudi Arabia vs Mexico prediction is under 2.5 goals at 2.00, matchday odds which could change before kick-0ff at 19:00 UK time. It is the first time Saudi Arabia clashes with Mexico, so expect a heightened level of tension in this matchup as there is everything to play for. A win for Mexico could be great news if it happens with at least 3 goals but that looks unlikely as things stand.
The last group-stage clash between Saudi Arabia and Mexico promises to be a mother of clashes. While Saudi has failed to keep a clean sheet in the two games, they have been solid at the back in most instances, so foresee a hard-fought match that is likely to yield fewer than 3 goals. Mexico on the other hand is desperate for points, so they too are expected to stage one of their best performances in this game in as much as keeping vigil at the back will be important.
Match Result Prediction: Saudi Arabia to Win
Our second prediction for Saudi Arabia vs Mexico is a win for the Saudis. They have exceeded expectations, beating Argentina in their opening game. On the other hand, Mexico is at risk of exiting the 2022 World Cup without scoring a goal. Mexico has failed to score in two games while Saudi Arabia has 2 goals so far. With 4.75 odds, the win probability is 21%, and it turns out the Saudis have always won 20% of their games with such odds. But if you have watched their performance in the 2022 World Cup so far, we think Mexico may have their toughest match match in the tournament in this last group stage game.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Saudi Arabia
We have seen shocking results already in the 2022 World. Saudi's win over Argentina kicked off the surprises. Ghana's victory over South Korea and Morocco's victory over Belgium are only but a few such instances. Saudi Arabia has come out as fighters and we see them winning this clash against Mexico to progress to the round of 16.
Saudi Arabia vs Mexico: Form, Recent Games, and News
Saudi Arabia Preview
Saudi Arabia has been surprisingly good in the 2022 World Cup. While many had predicted they will have a great tournament, beating Argentina in their opening match marked a journey of hope and determination. They may have fallen to Poland in Round 2 but it was just bad luck if you watched the game. We think Saudi Arabia will put their best foot forward in this clash to reinvigorate its fighting spirits in the quest for a win. A win for Saudi Arabia will be enough to see them through to the round of 16.
- Saudi Arabia predicted lineup: Mohammed Al-Owais, Saud Abdulhamid, Aldulelah Al-Amri, Mohammed Al Burayk, Nasser Al-Dawsari, Firas Al-Buraikan, Sami Al-Najei, Mohammed Kanno, Salem Al-Dawsari and Saleh Al-Shehri.
Mexico Preview
Mexico hadn't been a team we all knew before. Their performance in the 2022 World Cup has been below par. A barren draw with Poland and a 2-0 loss against Argentina have complicated things for the Mexicans. While a win could see them through, they can only hope to score many goals and that Argentian beats Poland by a wide margin. Most importantly, Mexico will fight hard to score their first goal in the 2022 World Cup in this Round 3 clash with Saudi Arabia.
- Mexico predicted lineup: Guillermo Ochoa, Cesar Montes, Hector Moreno, Nestor Araujo, Jesus Gallard, Erick Alvarez, Hector Herrera, Kevin Alvarez, Hirving Lozano, and Raul Jimenez.
