The two sides are preparing for WC action happening on Thursday when Mexico will take on South Africa.
Our full set of predictions, statistics and match poll for Mexico v South Africa can be seen below - as well as up-to-date odds.
Mexico will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 5-1 International Friendlies victory over Serbia.
For Mexico, the goals were scored by Johan Vásquez (34'), Raúl Jiménez (57') and Luis Chávez (90'). Petar Stanić (19') and Adem Avdić (72' Own goal) scored for Serbia.
Their more recent scorelines highlight the fact that there has been much resilience in the Mexico rearguard. Mexico have kept it tight, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their previous 6 clashes standing at 2.
In their last game, South Africa drew 0-0 in the International Friendlies tie with Nicaragua.
Looking at their form, and South Africa have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals in total. At the back, South Africa have some weaknesses to address. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, of course.
It looks to us like South Africa will surely find it tough to be scoring even one goal against a Mexico lineup who look likely to dominate proceedings.
We’re tipping a convincing 3-0 winning scoreline for Mexico when all is said and done.
Looking at the betting prices for the match on the WDW market, putting your money on Mexico can be had for 1.4, backing a draw is 4.33 and staking on victory for South Africa is 8. They are the best prices on offer right now.
