Argentina vs Mexico Predictions and Best Odds for November 26

Not many people would have guessed this would be a match between the bottom two teams in Group C. Argentina vs Mexico has taken on some added importance for both teams after the former lost to Saudi Arabia, while the latter drew with Poland. We can’t assume Saudi Arabia’s miracle run will continue, but just in case it does, this is a must-win for both sides.

Argentina vs Mexico Predictions and Betting Odds for Group C Clash

Argentina Run of Form

The Lionel Messi-led nation entered the tournament with all the momentum in the world. They were on a run of 36 games without suffering defeat before the World Cup began, but that all came crashing down during their 2-1 defeat in their tournament opener.

A loss like that can either cause a team to crumble, or it will harden their resolve. Let’s wait and see how one of the tournament favourites react.

Mexico Run of Form

Our Central American representatives are another case of a team coming into the World Cup with spotty form. Getting their tournament off to a 0-0 draw is probably the best personification of the team. They have a top-tier goalkeeper to thank for the draw and Guillermo Ochoa is one that will keep them in games in this group stage.

Recent Head to Head

Given their close proximity to one another, it comes as no surprise that these teams have played each other a lot. There have been 35 games between the two sides and the record does not bode well for The Tricolor.

In those 35 games, the White and Sky Blues have 16 wins, with 14 matches adding in a draw, and only five resulting in a defeat. Not since 2004 have the third-ranked team in the world lost to their upcoming opponent.
