Preview
Mexico and Scotland face at Estadio Azteca, in a friendly match. This is the 5th friendly match of the year for Mexico, after friendly matches against Wales, Croatia, Iceland and Bosnia‑Herzegovina. As for Scotland, this is the 4th friendly match of the year, after previous friendly matches against Peru, Hungary and Costa Rica. These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them.

Analysis Mexico

The home team plays its 5th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Mexico (0‑0) Wales, Mexico (0‑1) Croatia, Mexico (3‑0) Iceland and Mexico (1‑0) Bosnia‑Herzegovina. Mexico registers 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 home matches for the Friendlies. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 4 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Mexico comes for this match after a goalless draw against Wales, adding the second straight match without winning in friendly matches. We emphasize that the Mexicans will be present in the 2018 World Cup, resulting in the first position of the qualifying stage - North and Central America. Usually, the coach Juan Carlos Osorio plays in 4-3-3 with Chicharito being the most offensive team reference. But it’s important to emphasize that the main highlight of the team is the midfielder Héctor Herrera: this player has great technique and pass quality. Even so, we emphasize that the Mexican team has enormous competence in the offensive organization and maintenance of the ball possession. In doubt for this match is Andrés Guardado.

Confirmed Lineup: Guillermo Ochoa, Carlos Salcedo, Miguel Layún, Edson Álvarez, Hugo Ayala, Jesús Gallardo, Héctor Herrera, Hirving Lozano, Raúl Jiménez, Giovani Dos Santos, Carlos Vela.
Coach: J. Lozano Espin.

Analysis Scotland

The away team plays its 4th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Peru (2‑0) Scotland, Hungary (0‑1) Scotland and Scotland (0‑1) Costa Rica. In the last 8 away matches Scotland has won 3, tied 1 and lost 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 6 out of 8 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Scotland national team comes for this match after a defeat against Peru, by 2-0, adding in this way the third defeat in the last four played matches. Unlike the opponent, the Scots won’t be present at the 2018 World Cup. In this friendly, it’s expectable that the coach Alex McLeish will play in the usual 4-4-2 privileging the defensive organization and counterattacks. In addition, it will be apparent that the Scottish team will use the flanks to create danger to the enemy: Jamie Murphy is a very fast and excellent player in the transport of the ball. It seems that the coach can count on all the players.

Confirmed Lineup: Jon McLaughlin, Stephen O'Donnell, Graeme Shinnie, Scott Mckenna, Jack Hendry, Callum Paterson, Dylan McGeouch, Kenny McLean, Ryan Christie, Oliver McBurnie, Johnny Russell.
Coach: S. Clarke.
