Experienced Mexico has consistently performed in all Cups since 1994 and has made the playoffs without fail. Another issue is that the Greens have never advanced past the last 16. Gerardo Martino's team had little trouble qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, finishing second. The Mexicans had five friendlies before the World Cup beating Peru and Iraq - 1:0 and 4:0 and losing to Paraguay 0:1, Colombia 2:3, and Sweden 1:2.
Mexico is a very experienced team. They qualified for 8 straight World Cups! The match will be crucial because both teams want to win. It will be a tough game. Both have good players. Mexico has a lot of big names. Two teams can surprise each other. It will be a nice game to watch.
Poland
Poland is a perennial underdog in major international tournaments. The Red and Whites have never made the group stage at the continental championships. The last time they reached the playoffs at the World Cup was back in 1986. The Poles will make another attempt in Qatar, where they struggled to qualify. They ended up second, after which they were caught in the knockouts. The match against Russia was canceled, so Czesław Michniewicz's charges passed and beat Sweden 2:0. On the eve of the World Cup, the Poles had one friendly game, defeating Chile 1:0.
Poland won the last two games. They will rely on their striker, Robert Lewandowski. What a player he is! I can’t wait to see how he is going to play, behave, and cause trouble during this World Cup.
Expert Betting Tips
- The last three matches of Mexico were the upper hand ones.
- There was no exchange of goals in the last four matches with Poland.
- Poland could not beat Mexico in three consecutive encounters.
Looking at Group C, we see how vital Mexico vs Poland match is. There is a good chance that Argentina will clinch a playoff ticket, while Saudi Arabia will not get involved in the race for the top 2. That is why the teams will play each other for second place in the group. Gerardo Martino's charges have a better chance of success because the Mexicans have made it to the last eight (!) in seven straight World Cups, while the Poles have been unable to do so since 1986.
Mexico and Poland do not have an open and entertaining style, but they can play unproductively in the first game. The cost of a mistake is too high, but excitement can play havoc with them. Both teams will be careful in the attack because they will think of defending first. So there will be blunders on the field, which the skilled forwards convert into goals.
