The first two games were still commendable, beating the favorites 2-1 in the first game, and the last game was a 0-2 defeat, but actually looking at how the game went, the Saudis had their own chances, just really didn't capitalize on the penalties. The difficulty for Saudi Arabia in this match is that the team has the same points as Argentina, but the goal difference is 2 less in 3rd place. So, a draw doesn't give Saudi Arabia the initiative to go out of the tournament, and the team has to beat it to make sure they get out of the tournament.
For Mexico, the situation is more complicated, the team not only has to beat Saudi Arabia, but also need to get as much goal difference as possible, so as to grasp the slim possibility of advancing to the round of 16. In other words, neither team will accept a draw in this match.
Saudi Arabia's biggest problem is still affected by injuries and suspensions, and there will be a drop in strength. Originally, the core of the attack Muwalad did not come, after the first game, the team was injured captain midfielder Al-Faraj and left back Shahrani, the last game, Saudi Arabia's main back Al-Malki and ate a yellow card, the first two rounds of each ate a yellow, this round to be suspended. In the last game, Saudi Arabia and Poland sparred also very fierce, in yesterday's game, and, both in the second round of the dead fight after the third round of the obvious fatigue, which is the biggest problem faced by Saudi Arabia after two consecutive hard battles. In contrast.
More technical and tactical, the physical quality of the players is not a problem, not to mention the team's big killer Raul Jimen has returned from injury. Saudi Arabia's defense players were already of average physical quality, after a series of hard battles, the ability to confront is bound to decline again, which just gives Jimenez to play their own fixed-point blasting ability strong characteristics.
There is a clear gap between the strength of the two teams, the Mexican skipper Madino in the domestic public opinion pressure is also very big, this game he needs to harvest a victory, regardless of whether it can be out of the line, is an account of the Mexican fans.
