Mexico - Chile: Match preview
Mexico recently played at the 2026 World Cup, as they are one of the host nations of the tournament. In the group stage, they won three matches and advanced to the tournament. The team progressed through the round of 32 by beating Ecuador 2:0, but then lost 2:3 to England in the round of 16. During the September international break, the team failed to win any of their matches. They drew 1:1 with Colombia, drew 1:1 with Peru and then suffered a heavy 0:3 defeat. Up next is a match against Chile on home soil, and there is clearly a desire to finally win.
Chile have not been in top form for a long time, unlike a few years ago. They regularly qualified for the World Cup and won two Copa América titles. However, they are currently going through a clear decline and have been producing poor results. The team collected 11 points from 18 matches in the latest qualifying campaign and finished 10th in the table - last place. Their results in recent matches have also not been very good. They lost 1:2 to Portugal in the summer, then beat DR Congo 2:1, but their September campaign brought defeats to Canada 0:2 and then the United States 2:4.
Probable lineups
- Mexico: Rangel, Gallardo, Campillo, Vásquez, Reyes, Pineda, Lira, Romo, Sandoval, Giménez, Alvarado
- Chile: Vigouroux, Faúndez, Román, Villagra, Ulloa, Loyola, Reichmuth, Méndez, Osorio, Brereton, Gutiérrez
Prediction
I strongly believe that Mexico will be able to win on home soil and finally end their poor run, so I am backing a bet on a Mexico win at 1.52.
