Mexico vs Chile Prediction & Betting tips
The practice match between Mexico and Chile in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday is much more than just a friendly international match. The Mexicans have their own public to peel an apple with the Chileans!
Mexico:
Mexico uses this interland period to prepare for next year’s Gold Cup. Last week, Central Americans practiced against Costa Rica. The team of national coach Ricardo Ferretti, who only kicked off players who are still active in their own country, looked up twice against a deficit, but showed resilience and managed to win by 3-2.
At the Estadio Corregia in Queretaro, however, Mexico will again call on its ‘Europeans’ on Wednesday night. Players like Raul Jimenez (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Jesus Corona (FC Porto), Marco Fabian (Eintracht Frankfurt), Diego Reyes (Fenerbahce), Erick Gutierrez and star player Hirving Lozano (both PSV) got rest against Costa Rica, but will be against Chile make their appearance again. Mexico has something to put right, because two and a half years ago, El Tri lost in the quarterfinals of the Copa America with no less than 7-0 of Chile – the second-largest Mexican defeat in history. Players like Reyes, Jimenez, Corona and Lozano were already there, so Ferretti will have no trouble motivating them.
Chili:
Chili is a bit like beer: it used to be nice, but now you better pour it directly through the sink. Players like Arturo Vidal, Gary Medel and Alexis Sanchez were a real sensation with La Roja a couple of years ago, but nowadays they are not worth the sticking with the rest of the Chilean team. Last week, South Americans in Miami lost no less than 3-0 to arch-rival Peru, which, without a star player, Paolo Guerrero, had to make do. “It seems clear to me that it should be better in the future,” Vidal complained afterwards.
However, that is easier said than done. Chile has been reaping the benefits of a golden generation in recent years. The players of that time are now on their way back, while no new batches are ready yet. National coach Reinaldo Rueda is not to be envied. In my opinion, the Colombian coach had done a lot better to transfer some players from Chile Under 20 to the A-selection. That team played earlier this week with 1-1 equal against the peers of Brazil and thus has something in her march. Of course that is a gamble, but with the current selection you will probably not get a good look at the Copa America next year.
