Argentina and Mexico will face off in the match of the second round of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup. Will the Argentines win the first victory?
Argentina
According to the results of the first round Argentina occupies the last fourth place in Group C. This happened due to the fact that Messi and company sensationally lost in the opening match of the Qatar World Cup to Saudi Arabia, scoring one goal with two conceded. Although the beginning did not portend anything like that, because already in the tenth minute Lionel Messi converted a penalty. However, the Argentines failed to start the second half, conceding twice in eight minutes. No matter how hard Albiceleste tried, they didn't even manage to even the score.
Mexico
In the first round, Mexico's opponent was the Polish national team, which was expected to act as the second number, but at the same time it was she who had the best moment for scoring a goal, a penalty, but Lewandowski failed to beat Ochoa. This shot on target remained the only accurate shot from the Poles. Now Mexico and Poland will fight in absentia for the second line, and in the game with Argentina, "tricolor" needs to cling to at least a draw, but it will be incredibly difficult to do this, since albiceleste will tear and throw after losing to Saudi Arabia.
Statistics and figures:
- Argentina lost 1-2 to Saudi Arabia in the last match;
- Mexico played 0-0 with Poland in the first round;
- Argentina won against Mexico in the previous three matches with a total score of 8-0.
Forecast
Recently, Argentina has been playing successfully with Mexico, and not only has a 3-match winning streak, but also does not allow scoring. Considering that Messi and the company no longer have the right to make a mistake, I propose to bet on their Victoria.
