After two matches at the World Cup, Mexico and Saudi Arabia find themselves at the bottom of Group C. Mexico need a victory to advance to the knockout round, while Saudi Arabia will almost certainly need all three points, barring Poland beating Argentina.
Mexico have made a habit out of advancing from the group stage, which they’ve done at the last seven World Cups. Getting out of this group will be a difficult task though, given their precarious goal difference situation with Poland (four goals behind) and Argentina’s expected victory.
An even bigger problem for Mexico is how poor they’ve been at this tournament. They’ve failed to score a goal, which is true of Tunisia, Uruguay and them. Now they’ll probably need at least two, and a win, to have any real chance of progressing. Given how Saudi Arabia have played though, the Mexicans are overpriced once again.
