The different positions around the game can give us an idea of which team is the favorite to access the next phase and what their chances of winning the World Cup are.
Current events and match history
In this World Cup in Qatar 2022, the presence of Mexico has gone unnoticed except for two particular events: the penalty that Guillermo Ochoa saved for Robert Lewandoski, and the match against Argentina, because the eyes of the world always look to where Lionel Messi is. However, Mexico has gone from being considered the protagonist in the previous one to a processing team during the competition.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia has presented two different faces. Against Argentina, although he could have been thrashed due to the impression of the Argentines, he ended up winning the match. Specifically, against Poland the squad fell and ended up losing by a score of 2-0.
For this reason, and although in different circumstances, both Mexico and Saudi Arabia arrive with the need to win the match to qualify for the next round. And it is that although the history favors the squad of “El Tata” Martino. Let’s remember that they have met three times for the Confederations Cup, where Mexico won those matches. Likewise, the teams have met twice, registering a victory for the Mexicans and a draw.
However, the reality of both is now different. On the one hand, Mexico is one of the teams that has not been able to score a single goal in the tournament, while the Arabs winning would ensure their pass.
Mexico vs. Saudi Arabia, this is what the bookmakers say
In the world of betting, all parameters count. From the moment both teams arrive, to the number of fans from each country. Many even take the last game played between the two teams as a parameter.

For this reason, bookmakers have diversified and allow fans to win even with the strangest predictions in sports. What is clear is that, with regard to the final result, even the houses bet on the Mexican National Team. In countries like Perubookmakers favor Mexico despite its current state.

Female participation, they are the ones who trust their pass the most
Regularly, during the World Cup, the majority of the talk is about the participation of “amateurs”, highlighting the morpheme that defines their genre. However, the female audience little by little takes over the conversation and has more participation in it.
The female passion for this sport has increased to such a degree that many of them have begun to have a more direct relationship with this sport. In fact, according to a study conducted by YouGovnear to 73 percent of Mexican women are interested in the Qatar 2022 World Cup and, of course, in the participation of Mexico.
Even in the face of this difficult circumstance, of these 73 percent, 88 percent are still confident that the team will play not only in the round of 16, but also that they will reach the fifth game. In addition to this, 6 out of 10 women interested in the World Cup have purchased the official shirt of the Mexican National Team.
It would be worth remembering that, according to an analytical study that is responsible for forecasting different results depending on the performance of each selection, carried out by THE COUNTRY of Spainshowed that Mexico was in 22nd place among the teams with chances of winning the World Cup, being even below the United States, who was in 15th place, and their group rivals, Poland (15) and Argentina (4 ).
In this same study, the possibility of Mexico accessing the following phases was evaluated, where surprisingly it only has a 22 percent chance of qualifying for the round of 16 and a 4 percent chance of going to the fifth game. After that, the panorama is more complex, since it is the last team that has a whole number in the possibilities of reaching the semifinals. The chance of reaching the final is then less than one percent, as is the chance of being champion.
To give us an idea, Brazil has a 26 percent chance of being champion under this consideration, while Ghana, Canada, South Korea and more teams, prior to the World Cup, did not even have an assigned percentage (now we know, for example, that Canada is already eliminated.
Meanwhile, the match between Mexico and Saudi Arabia will take place today at 1:00 p.m., CDMX, at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, in Qatar, where Mexico will seek its last opportunity to access the round of 16. or in the worst case, return home.
