❌ Mexico (FIFA Rank 17 / Last 5 Matches: Win-Loss-Draw-Win-Draw)
Mexico prefers a 4-3-3 formation and builds its attacks around Huerta (LW), Jimenez (FW), and Pineda (RW). Recently, they drew 0-0 in a friendly match against Canada, displaying dull attacking play with a noted lack of synergy among their attacking players. The defense line is expected to include Montes (DC) and Vazquez (DC), and with the support of Alvarez (DM), they are likely to avoid large-scale conceding.
- Absentee Issue: Martin (FW / ★★★)
❌ United States (FIFA Rank 18 / Last 5 Matches: Loss-Loss-Loss-Draw-Win)
The United States utilizes a 3-4-3 formation, focusing their attacks around Pulisic (LW), Sargent (FW), and Aaronson (RW). They secured a 2-0 victory in a recent friendly against Panama, successfully marking the debut of coach Pochettino. However, their attacking play relies on individual abilities, making it hard to effectively penetrate Mexico's defense. The defense line shows stability with Lim (DC), McKenzie (DC), and Scally (DR), which should adequately fend off the opponent's counterattacks.
- Absentee Issue: McKennie (MF / ★★★★), Weah (FW / ★★★)
❌ Result Prediction
A draw / Recommended under (2.5). Both teams are in a situation where their attacking strength is lacking, and a fierce back-and-forth battle is expected based on strong defensive organization. Ultimately, there is a high possibility that it will end in a tedious draw.
❌ Betting Summary and Recommendation
Win-Draw-Loss: Draw
Handicap (-1.0): United States win
Under/Over (2.5): Under
