Mexico vs Uruguay Prediction: The Sky Blue will win in a productive game

Uruguay has beaten Mexico in three of their last four head-to-head encounters. Will Gerardo Martino's side be able to improve? We predict that Sky Blue will once again be closer to success!

Mexico

Mexico is a regular participant in major international tournaments. Moreover, in the previous seven World Cups, the Three Colours have always qualified from the group. Gerardo Martino's charges performed very decently in qualifying for the World Cup 2022, finishing second in the group and losing to Canada only in additional indicators. The Mexicans also managed to play two friendly matches, with Guatemala 0:0 and then beating Nigeria 2:1.

Uruguay

Uruguay is another national team without whom it isn't easy to imagine the World Cup. They will play in the 2022 World Cup, although they risked missing out on the tournament in Qatar during their qualifying tournament in South America. They suffered a four-match losing streak in the second half of 2021, after which the legendary coach left the national team, and Diego Alonso was replaced. The Uruguayans made immediate progress with him, posting a 4-match winning streak at the end of qualifying, enabling them to qualify directly from third place for the 2022 World Cup.

Expert Betting Tips

By world standards, Mexico and Uruguay are two strong teams who play consistently in the world championships and always make the playoffs. The upcoming game will be a hard-fought affair in which a slight advantage can be expected for Sky Blue. They've won three of their last four head-to-head encounters, and they've been stronger under Diego Alonso in the previous four in a row. As a result, we should bet on Uruguay to win for 2.76.

Mexico and Uruguay are surprisingly productive. In the last seven head-to-head encounters, the opponents have combined for 23 goals (3.29 goals per game), while five times out of seven, they reached the bookmaker's total over (0.71 on average per game). We may expect a good result in this encounter because the game is only friendly. We suggest betting on the total over 2.5 for 2.24.

The Uruguayan attack has been associated with Cavani and Suárez in recent years. Still, these skilled players are not getting any younger, so it is time for the Diego Alonso coaching staff to think about replacing them. Darwin Núñez, who has had an excellent season for Benfica, has been invited into the squad for this occasion. In 28 games in the Portuguese championship, he scored 26 goals, becoming the tournament's top scorer. He has also scored a goal in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. You can bet on Darwin Nunez's goal for 3.40.
