«Mexico» – «Poland» Prediction
11/22/2022Doha will host the first round match of Group C in the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday 22 November at 19:00 Moscow time, when the national teams of Mexico and Poland will face off against each other at the 974 Stadium. Poland is on the lips of most bookmakers to win this encounter. That said, the Mexican national team has repeatedly surprised fans with their play in the big forums. How many goals will be scored in this match? Read on for our prediction.
Mexico
Suggested line-up:
4-3-3 formation
Goalkeeper: Ochoa (America)
Defence: Arteaga (Genk), Alvarez (Ajax), Montes (Monterrey), Sanchez (Ajax)
Midfield: Rodriguez (Cruz Azul), Herrera (Houston Dynamo), Gutierrez (PSV)
Attack: Corona (Sevilla), Lozano (Napoli), Jimenez (Wolverhampton)
The Mexican national team made it through to the main stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This was the eighth successive entry to the World Cup, and on seven previous occasions, the Mexicans had been consistently eliminated in the final 1/8 play-off stage. Now they are in a group with Argentina as the clear favourite and Saudi Arabia as the clear underdog. The match against Poland should decide the playoffs and Mexico has to show their best football.

Poland
Suggested line-up:
4-4-2 formation
Goalkeeper: Szczęsny (Juventus)
Defence: Kivior (La Spezia), Glik (Benevento), Bednarek (Southampton), Cash (Aston Villa)
Midfield: Zalewski (Roma), Linetti (Torino), Zielinski (Napoli), Szymanski (Feyenoord)
Offence: Lewandowski (Barcelona), Piętek (Hertha)
The Polish national side had problems in the qualifying stages but emerged from a tricky tie by reaching the group stage. Despite featuring one of the greatest forwards in world football, Robert Lewandowski, they have not featured in a World Cup play-off since 1986 and have only made the group stage once in their four previous European Championships. Right now, Poland does not look like a balanced, solid team. An opponent such as Mexico will be insurmountable for Michniewicz's side.
Mexico and Poland's chances of winning, according to bookmakers
The bookmakers consider Mexico to be the underdog in this meeting. The odds are 91/50 to beat Mexico.
Betting on Poland's victory will increase your bankroll by 174%. The bookmakers' odds are 87/50 to win Poland.
Mexico vs Poland: Handicap betting
The Mexican team looks like the more stable and energised team. We see Mexico winning with a handicap (0) as a good option at 97/100. For fans of Poland, we also have the option of Polish victory with a handicap (0) – 23/25.
Mexico v Poland: Betting on totals
This match will be the first for the Mexicans and the Poles in the tournament. However, it is likely to decide the outcome of second place in the playoffs from Group C. We will not see many goals in such an important encounter. The best bet on the totals is a Total of less than 2.5 goals (Under 2.5) – 59/100.
Interesting facts before the Mexico vs Poland match
The Mexican and Polish national teams have faced each other four times in friendlies. The 1978 World Cup match ended in a 3-1 win for Poland, but then Mexico twice drew in friendlies in 2005 and 2011, and in 2017, the Mexicans secured a narrow victory in a friendly.
The Mexican team clearly does not inspire the bookies as World Cup winners, and the odds of victory are 125/1. The same option for Poland is at 100/1.
Mexico vs Poland prediction
The Mexican team is perfectly capable of winning, but it will not be a formative match.
