Mexico vs Uruguay prediction: WORLD: Friendly International betting tips on match 2024-06-05 01:00.
[p]Mexico took part in ten consecutive Copa AmĂ©ricas from 1993 to 2016 and, after missing the editions in 2019 and 2021, will return to the tournament this summer. Despite reaching the final in 1993 and 2001, itâs still a competition they are yet to win though, but with friendlies against Uruguay and Brazil, Jaime Lozanoâs side look set to be well tested ahead of their opener against Jamaica on June 22nd.[/p]
[p]Ranked as the 14th best side in the world by FIFA, El Tri are in inconsistent form after winning three and losing three of their last six. That sequence is a far cry from their previous 18 matches (W10, D6, L2), a run which took in their final 2022 FIFA World Cup clash and stretched all the way to October last year.[/p]
[p]Uruguayâs recent results are also somewhat mediocre as they look to end a two-game winless streak (in recognised matches), with a goalless draw against Costa Rica following a 2-1 defeat to Ivory Coast. But they will come into this clash in Denver with a strong record against Mexico from 2010 onwards (W4, L1), including impressive 3-0 and 4-1 triumphs in their last two H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Edinson Cavani found the net twice in the 3-0 victory the last time the sides met but announced his retirement from international football last Thursday, with the 37-year-old striker stepping away after earning 136 caps and scoring 58 goals for La Celeste – putting him second only to Luis SuĂĄrez for the latter statistic. However, he had not played for his country since the last World Cup, so Marcelo Bielsa, who celebrated one year as manager last month, has had plenty of time to plan for life without him.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mexicoâs EfraĂn Ălvarez scored the only goal in their friendly win over Bolivia on Saturday and has now netted in two of his last three appearances for club and country. Without Cavani, Darwin NĂșñez is expected to lead Uruguayâs attack over the coming years and, despite a poor end to the season for Liverpool, he has scored five times in his last four internationals.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: There have been 3+ goals in six of the last eight H2Hs.[/p]
