Mexico v Sweden Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 27^th June 2018 kick-off 3 PM

On Wednesday afternoon, Mexico and Sweden go head-to-head in Group F of the World Cup, as both teams hope to seal a knockout spot.

Mexico have won both of their group games against Germany and South Korea, but have not yet guaranteed qualification for the knockout stages of the competition. A draw would seal a place in the last 16 for a seventh consecutive World Cup for El Tri.

A draw would be enough to seal their last 16 spot, while even a defeat could see them through if Germany fails to defeat South Korea in the other game of the group.

Sweden suffered late heartbreak against Germany, as a stoppage-time goal from Toni Kroos secured a 2-1 win for the champions. A draw against Die Mannschaft would have sealed a place in the knockout stages for the Scandinavian team.

The Swedes could seal qualification with a victory, or a draw could even be enough, again depending on Germany failing to beat South Korea.

Janne Andersson’s team heads into this crucial clash in poor form, having won just one of their last six matches. Their recent games have been tight, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five outings.

Prediction

Draw and/or under 2.5 goals
