Argentina vs Mexico Prediction & Betting tips
A few days ago, Argentina and Mexico already played against each other, but in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday both countries are doing it again. In Argentine Mendoza, Mexico hopes to take revenge on the 2-0 defeat of last week.
Argentina:
Argentina still works with a stripped-down selection. Superstars like Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain and Lionel Messi are again not present. However, even without her main fanciers, Argentina just won 2-0 vs. Mexico a few days ago thanks to a goal by Ramiro Funes Mori and an own goal by the Mexicans. Paulo Dybala in particular played a strong game in his hometown Cordoba, although he did not manage to crown that with a goal. Mauro Icardi is still waiting for his first goal in the shirt of La Albiceleste.
All in all, there are especially happy faces with Argentina, who with the beautiful victory in Mexico quickly washed away the bitter aftertaste of last month’s defeat against arch-rival Brazil. Whether Dybala and Icardi will kick off again in the second part of the diptych against Mexico is yet to be seen, because there is a big chance that interim national coach Lionel Scaloni will throw his basic eleven on the shovel. The chance is present that we will not see Argentina-B in the second game against the Mexicans but Argentina-C.
Mexico:
Just like Argentina, Mexico is not at full strength of war either. Renowned players like Andres Guardado, Hector Moreno, Hirving Lozano and Javier Hernandez were not invited for a variety of reasons and were not in the first game against Argentina. The ‘Europeans’ Miguel Layun, Guillermo Ochoa, Nestor Araujo and Raul Jimenez came into action a few days ago, but have already returned to their employers.
Mexico will therefore play in the second game against Argentina with almost only players who are still active in their own country. Diego Reyes (Fenerbahce), Marco Fabian (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Erick Gutierrez (PSV) are the only players in the selection of interim national coach Ricardo Ferretti who earn their living abroad. This probably means the last international match from Ferretti. Reportedly, the Mexican Football Association is close to an agreement with former FC Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino.
