Match Preview

Both teams have a chance to qualify for the semifinals as they meet at Kazan Arena on the final matchday in Group A of the Confederations Cup. Both managed to beat New Zealand so far, but Mexico drew with Portugal while Russia lost to Cristiano Ronaldo. Therefore, the hosts must win in order to qualify for the semifinals, while the Gold Cup winners only need a draw, as we state in our Mexico vs Russia preview.

The World Cup hosts have been largely disappointing so far. They showed some fighting spirit against the Portuguese, but none of their ten attempts hit the target, and that says a lot about their quality. However, the Mexicans played a disappointing game in the 2-1 win over New Zealand as well and must improve massively if they are to get the right result. That is why our Mexico vs Russia predictions are not easy to make.

Mexico vs Russia Predictions and Betting Advice

The game is rather unpredictable and can go either way, but overall the Mexicans seem to be the better team on paper. They are much more experienced, while Russia miss key players with the likes of Artyom Dzyuba and Alan Dzagoev out injured. The hosts have significant problems scoring against top opposition, and their only world class star is the goalkeeper, Igor Akinfeev. This makes us think that the North Americans are able to achieve their goal and get a point on their way to the semifinals. The odds for our Mexico vs Russia betting tips are quite promising at 3.00.
