Mexico vs Uruguay Prediction and Match Preview

Mexico vs Uruguay Prediction

Mexico and Uruguay are all set to deliver an interesting and competitive on Thursday in a friendly fixture. These two locking horns before the Copa America battle assures an impressive display from both, as they will look to utilize their possibilities in the warm-up to bring out a better playing XI in the competition.

• Mexico won three of their last five matches and has netted 9 goals in that period while allowing 5.
• Uruguay lost just twice in the last 14 matches across all competitions and has records of winning over teams like Argentina and Brazil on that stretch.

The stats on paper of Uruguay are far better than that of Mexico’s as they have a stunning form across all competitions of late. Just two defeats in the last 14 matches is a solid display to expect a strong performance from them in the upcoming matches, including this friendly.

Meanwhile, Mexico conceded three defeats in the last 10 matches and the teams which they lost to were USA, Bolivia and Honduras. The only consistent factor in their possession is the offensive line which has netted 18 goals in the last 10 matches.

• These two have met 12 times in the past and Uruguay have an edge as they were unbeaten in eight of them.
• Uruguay is on a two-match winning streak against Mexico and has scored 7 goals in the stretch.
• Do also note that Uruguay has defeated Mexico three times in the last four head-to-heads in which Mexico had the home advantage.

Apart from the above observations, Uruguay’s away form is an additional reason to back them here, too. They were unbeaten in 11 of the last 13 road trips and will enter this match following a three-game unbeaten streak which includes a 0-2 win against Argentina. Knowing that Mexico conceded two winless games in the last four home matches, we like to back Uruguay to win for this match.

It is noteworthy that Uruguay has scored 2 goals apiece in three of the last five road trips. Since Mexico has scored 13 goals in the last eight home matches, we like to suggest a 2-1 win for the Uruguayan side as an alternative pick here.
