Argentina vs Mexico Prediction & Betting tips
$ 50,000 penalty is more or less to pay for a world star like Lionel Messi from the postage box. However, the fact that the five-time world footballer has been suspended for three months in the national team hurts him a lot more. The Conmebol had imposed this penalty after Messi’s statements in the wake of Copa America. There, the attacker of FC Barcelona flew in the game for third place with a very questionable red card from the square and accused the association after the corruption.
Also the Argentine federation president Claudio Tapia was recently recalled because of similar statements from his post in the Council of the world federation FIFA. Whether the accusations are justified or not, plays for the game Argentina vs. Mexico on Wednesday, where we want to risk a forecast, does not matter. All that is certain is that the South Americans have to compete without their superstar.
If at the match Argentina vs. When Mexico’s odds are considered, it’s important to know that the game is on neutral ground. Venue is the Alamodome in San Antonio, so there is no home advantage for one of the teams.
The favorite position of the Argentinians therefore has other reasons. A little surprising is the estimation of the bookmakers already, after all, the yield of the “Gauchos” without Messi in the recent past has been quite poor.
On Friday against Chile, there was only a tired 0-0, while Mexico beat the United States clearly and 3-0. Maybe there is a surprise in this game, which takes place at 03:00 clock German time in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday.
Argentina:
Whether with or without the support of the referees. The fact is that Argentina once again lost to Selecao in the semi-final of this year’s Copa. At 0: 2 also helped the scoring record of 14: 4 nothing, if the chances are then not used.
So in the end, only a disappointing third place and the archrival was allowed to celebrate the title. Exactly two months after the tournament was on Friday again the first international match for the blue-white – without Lionel Messi.
However, Coach Scaloni also has other stars in the squad who have a lot of quality. Joaquin Correa, Paulo Dybala or Leandro Paredes are just a few of the celebrity names who all make their living from European top clubs. The chance against Chile for revenge was missed in Los Angeles. Despite renewed optical superiority (13: 5 shots on goal) it was at the end 0: 0.
The class of a Messi can not be completely replaced. The next opportunity for a sense of achievement is now against the Mexicans, before the beginning of October is still a test match against the German national team. Competitive games are no longer available for the Argentines this year, which is why coach Scaloni can experiment with the lineup and formation and will certainly make numerous changes on Wednesday.
Mexico:
Mexico celebrated Jonathan dos Santos in the summer, the winner of the Gold Cup final, defeating the USA 1-0. The midfielder of Los Angeles Galaxy crowned a good tournament performance of the entire team.
After clear victories in the preliminary round with twelve own hits, was in the knockout phase great fight announced. Costa Rica were defeated only after penalties, Haiti after extra time.
In the end, however, the protégés of successful coach Martino were able to raise the trophy. For the head coach is on Wednesday a very special game, after all, he meets his home country and will therefore be a little more tense than usual. Actually, he has no reason to worry. His team was able to preserve the good form after the Gold Cup and set an exclamation point on Saturday with a 3-0 win in the USA.
Chicharito and the two jokers Erick Gutierrez and Carlos Antuna contributed to the goals. This once again proved that the breadth of the squad is right and that the many young players can expect a rosy future for “El Tri”. Now the team wants to prove against a big name. Despite Argentina’s high odds, Mexico is far from having a chance, and with a performance similar to the one they played against the USA in the last race, there is definitely something for the Martino protégés.
