Mexico vs Portugal prediction

Former Real Mallorca boss Javier Aguirre has done a mixed job in charge of the Mexicans, with some very good moments and some major dips. El Tri have started 2026 with three successive unofficial friendly wins against Panama, Bolivia and Iceland.

The star studded Portuguese, coached by Roberto Martinez, have an extremely impressive squad that should push themselves deep into this tournament. November perhaps encapsulated them, though, with a 9-1 hammering of Armenia coming a few days after a 2-0 loss to Ireland.

Portugal are good but inconsistent. Mexico will want to make a statement at Estadio Azteca and both teams scoring seems a good bet for this one in Mexico City.
