Mexico Stats & Form
Mexico is an opponent that no team wants to face in the group stage since they are a die-hard team that gives more than 100% in every game.
There is no superstar in this roster but the team spirit and the readiness to die on the pitch is what makes Mexico an outstanding team.
Mexico finished second in the CONCACAF qualifiers with 28 points, as many as the leader Canada. They had only 2 losses in 14 qualifying games.
Mexico has only 4 wins in the last 10 games and all of those have come against teams that are on a much lower level than them.

Mexico vs. Poland Betting Odds
Poland is a slight favorite going into this game with the odds at 160 in their favor while Mexico is at 187. The draw is set at 212.
The total goals margin is set at 2.5 with 124 for over and 169 for under.
Betting Tip
Given the odds, Poland is a slight favorite going into this game. Knowing how good and aggressive the Mexicans are, they will at least have an equal chance of winning this game. Despite the fact that Mexico has not made any significant success in the World Cups, they have been one of the most consistent teams who regularly find their way to the knockout phase. This generation of Mexico is definitely capable of reaching the second round and in order to do that they will need to win at least a point in this game which they will eventually do. Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world but he will not be able to beat Mexico by himself.
