Coming off disappointing results in their last two group matches, Mexico must quickly boost their form against Argentina in their second-round match on Saturday.
Argentina are -250 favourites to win the match Mexico are +800 underdogs The Draw is priced +300
Argentina come into the knockout stages as arguably the most impressive team in the group stage. The Argentines topped the so called “group of death” with seven points, including victories over Ghana, Serbia & Montenegro and a scoreless draw (using mostly fringe players) with the Netherlands. But it was their dominating 6-0 victory over the Serbs that opened the World’s eyes as the South Americans put on an exhibition of quality football with clinical passes and superb finishes.
Lionel Messi made his World Cup debut as a second-half substitute against Serbia & Montenegro and the 17 year old proved why he is the most talked about youngster in the game. After less than 15 minutes on the pitch, Messi got a goal and an assist. He’s proved to be a lethal weapon that teams must quickly find a way of containing.
The Mexicans didn’t fare as well as the Argentines in the group stage. In their opening match against Iran, El Tri were pushed for 75 minutes before scoring twice to earn a 3-1 victory. In their next match, Mexico were held to a shocking scoreless draw by Angola and then finished up group play with a 2-1 loss to Portugal – despite the fact the Portuguese rested several starting players. Nevertheless, Mexico made it through to the Round of 16 and now have a new beginning.
If Mexico want any hope of pulling off what could be the biggest victory in their country’s history, they must find away to slow down Argentina’s potent offence. This means captain Rafael Marquez and the rest of the Mexican back line will have to play the game of their lives and goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez will have to be nothing short of sensational.
