Mexico vs Ireland Prediction & Betting tips
In the night of thursday on friday Mexico and Ireland meet in a friendly match. For Mexico, the duel is the final preparation for two World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup. Ireland is preparing for the major qualifying match against Austria. Will both countries make a nice game of it?
Mexico :
The World Championship Qualification System for North American countries is extremely beneficial. In the group of six, the best three countries are guaranteed for World Cup participation, while the number four through the play-offs is still a chance to win a ticket. Thus it was strange that the Mexicans wanted to put themselves in trouble. There is therefore no dirt in the air. In four ducks, Mexico scored ten points, with a six-point lead at number four.
The practice countries against Croatia and Ireland are snacks for Mexico. Los Tricolores have got busy months ahead. In June, the national team will play World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and the United States, followed by the Confederation Cup, where Mexico will act as a North American delegation. As if it was not enough, the Gold Cup – the championship of North and Central America – will be on display in July. In this final tournament, a B-team will logically take place.
Mexico already played against Croatia on Sunday. The Croatians, who played without big names, scored the basis for the victory at the end of the first half by scoring twice in two minutes. Mexico had also left some of the base on the bench. In the second half they were still in the team, but they did not get over 2-1 from Javier Hernández. Coach Juan Carlos Osorio has indicated that he is going to draw players who play little to Ireland again against Ireland. He also confirmed that Rafael Marquez would again make minutes after a back surgery. Osorio sees Ireland home as a good test given the withdrawal tactics of the visitors, which he also expects against Honduras and the US.
Probable setup Mexico
Ochoa; Layún, D. Reyes, Marquez, R. Reyes; Gutiérrez, Herrera; E. Hernández, Molina, Lozano; Peralta
Ireland :
Ireland knew a flying start of qualification. In five duels eleven points were captured. It does not give the Irish national team the lead, but competitors Wales and Austria are already behind four points. Mexico prepares across the Atlantic for the major qualifying match against Austria next week Sunday. The Irish are practicing after Mexico, also against Uruguay.
Eunan O’Kane and Shane Duffy should almost have declined for the interlands. The duo became involved in a traffic accident, but was largely frightened. “Everyone is okay. The two boys involved in the accident are already training. They hurt themselves, but wanted to do something, so that’s good news, “commented coach coach Shane O’Neill. The Northern Irishman wants to take action to try out some things. “It gives us opportunities to experiment, possibly three center defenders and two advanced backs.”
O’Neill will use the duel with Ireland to give the Championship players play time, as that competition has been set for a month. “The Uruguay pot will contain many players who you think they need another match for the match against Austria,” O’Neill looked forward. The coach has a small team because the Premier League players will only join later. Commander Seamus Coleman returns for Uruguay before the match, while the rest is taking over the United States trip.
Probable setup Ireland
Randolph; Christie, Egan, Keogh, Pearce, Duffy; O’Kane, Hoolahan, McClean, Hourihane; Murphy
