Mexico vs New Zealand Prediction & Betting tips
Wednesday night, Mexico from Guardado, Moreno and Lozano takes it in Russia’s Sochi against New Zealand. In profit, the Mexicans make a giant step towards the semi-finals, although The All Whites will undoubtedly sell their skin.
Mexico :
Mexico pulled a 2-2 draw from Portugal in the weekend against Portugal’s title candidate, thus looking back at a good start of the Confederations Cup. The Central Americans withstand their 4-3-3 formation regularly, but eyes in the back yard are very vulnerable. Cristiano Ronaldo got double coverage, but other Portuguese attackers got more space. Maybe Mexico had more in it if it had better defended her defensive attention, although it still seems to be watching coffee. The fact is that coach Osorio will have to defend his defense.
The draw against Portugal is and remains a good result, because if Mexico knows Wednesday’s New Year’s Eve, it’s a leg in the semi-finals. Especially before, El Tri is well-equipped, with players like Vela, Chicharito Hernandez, Giovani dos Santos and of course the brand new PSV win Lozano. The super talent sent a lightning visit to Eindhoven on Monday to undergo medical examination and sign his contract, and then fly back to Russia immediately. Chucky stayed on the bench against Portugal, but it would be nice for PSV fans to be awaiting us on Wednesday evening.
Probable setup Mexico
Ochoa; Salcedo, Reyes, Moreno, Layun; Jonathan dos Santos, Herrera, Guardado; Vela, Jimenez, Hernandez
New Zealand :
New Zealand played safe on Friday night in the official opening match against host country Russia, but still went out of the way with 2-0 below. That’s not a shame, but it does indicate that The All Whites are a little too small for this level. The team of coach coach Hudson could not easily bump up the Russian pace. Since Mexico is a higher level of football, when Russia is hanging a new defeat in the sky, Wynne does not want to know anything about it: “We believe in our own ability. We do not give up, so we do not put Kiwis together. ”
Of course, New Zealand will do its utmost to Mexico to make a positive result, but you can wonder to what extent that is realistic. Defender Reid (West Ham United) had to cancel his injunction and missed a node. The only player that can really endanger is Deep Wood. With his 195 centimeters and 95 kilos, the Mexican defenders will need hands and feet to stop him. With 27 goals in 44 appearances, Wood joined Leeds United last season to become the top scorer of the English Championship. The Confederation Cup is, of course, a great stage for him to play in the audience at a top-level club.
Probable setup New Zealand
Marinovic; Colvey, Smith, Durante, Boxall, Wynne; McGlinchey, Rojas, Thomas; Wood, Barbarouses
