Mexico
Mexico have qualified for another World Cup after a solid CONCACAF qualifying campaign. After 14 games, Mexico – along with Canada and United States – booked their place in Qatar after collecting 28 points. The Mexicans won eight, drew four and lost two. This will be their 17th appearance at the finals.
Can El Tri Warm Up for World Cup with Another Win?
In Qatar, Mexico have been drawn into Group C. They kick off their tournament with a match with Poland at Stadium 974 in Doha.
They then travel to Lusail to face Argentina, who are one of the favorites to lift the trophy. Their final Group C game will be against Saudi Arabia at Lusail Iconic Stadium.
Since qualifying for the World Cup, Mexico’s form has been patchy. In September, they lost to Paraguay and Colombia but beat Peru.
Mexicos’s Last Fixture
In their last fixture, however, goals from Ernesto Vega, Rogelio Funes Mori, Jesus Gallardo and Uriel Antuna gave Martino’s men an easy 4-0 victory over Iraq in Girona.
Mexico will be hoping to go far in the World Cup. At the time of writing, the Mexicans are priced at around +15000 to lift the trophy in Qatar.
A standout bet is Mexico to be eliminated at the Round of 16 stage for an eighth World Cup in a row (+180).
Mexico Projected Lineup
- Guillermo Ochoa
- Nestor Araujo
- Cesar Montes
- Hector Moreno

Sweden – Swedes To Come Up Short In Spain?
Having failed to qualify for the World Cup, this will be their penultimate game of 2022. After facing Mexico on Spanish soil, the Swedes take on Algeria in Malmo three days later.
Their next competitive match will be a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier against Belgium in March next year. Sweden head to Spain in poor form.
They picked up a 2-0 UEFA Nations League victory in Slovenia back in June but have yet to win since. They lost four matches in a row after that, losing to Norway and Serbia twice.
Andersson’s Boys
Janne Andersson’s boys did manage to stop the rot in their last fixture in September, ending their Nations League campaign with a home draw with the Slovenians.
Emil Forsberg leveled at the Friends Arena after Benjamin Sesko opened the scoring for Slovenia.
This will be a tricky test for the Swedes as they try to restore some pride after their World Cup qualification failure. Still, can they upset the Mexicans in Girona? Read on for our Mexico vs Sweden prediction.
Sweden Projected Lineup
- Robin Olsen
- Joel Andersson
- Victor Lindelof

Mexico vs. Sweden Pick and Prediction
Mexico are in high spirits, and this will be their final game before facing Poland in their World Cup opener in Doha next week.
The Mexicans have bigger things on their mind, but Martino will be looking for a win in Spain on Wednesday.
Who to Bet On?
Sweden reached the knockout phase of UEFA Euro 2022 and the quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, so to not even qualify for the 2022 World Cup is a bitter disappointment for the nation.
El Tri head into this one as the bookies’ favorites, and our Mexico vs Sweden prediction is a comfortable Mexican win.
You can get the solid betting odds of +250 for Mexico to be winning at half time and full time. The odds of +333 for Martino’s troops to win -1 are also too good to turn down.
Soccer Pick: Mexico (+250)
