LiontipsMexico vs Portugal: betting tip (cf 3.50) and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Current form
Mexico, as one of the hosts of the World Cup, did not participate in the selection. Last July, the national team won the Gold Cup, beating the USA 2-1 in the final. After that game, the Mexicans played only friendly matches. In total, they played nine matches, in which they were able to win only three times. It is characteristic that Javier Aguirre's team won three victories in the previous three matches, which took place in January and February of this year. We managed to beat Panama and Bolivia with the same score 1-0, as well as Iceland (4-0). We can say that the national team has gradually improved.

Current form
Portugal was not stable in the qualifying tournament for the World Cup, and it was not without problems that she got a ticket to the World Cup from the first place. At the finish, Robeto Martinez's team defeated Armenia (9-1) and won the group, three points ahead of Ireland. It should be noted that in qualifying, the Portuguese allowed themselves two misfires when they drew with Hungary (2:2) and sensationally lost to Ireland with a score of 0:2 on the road. There are questions about the defense, but seven goals conceded in six matches, taking into account not the strongest opponents, is a lot for such a team.

D. Costa, Diaz, Semedo and Ronaldo are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Portugal has exchanged goals with their rivals.
- More than three yellow cards were shown in three of the four previous Portuguese matches.

Tip and bets
Closer to the start of the World Cup, the Mexicans improved, scored three wins in a row and obviously today they will try to prove themselves to the maximum in front of the fans. It should be noted that in the last four sparring matches, the national team did not leave the field without scoring a goal. The Portuguese, despite some setbacks, took first place in the qualifying group for the World Cup. Martinez's men are convincing in attack, they scored nine goals against the Armenian national team, and they played without Ronaldo, who will not play today. However, Portugal could not win back to zero in the previous three meetings, the goal of the hosts will not cause much surprise today. We believe that betting on both goals will be optimal in this sparring match.
Our betting tip is that both will score for a coefficient of 1.77
Betting on the outcome
It will not be easy for the European national team to play in Mexico. And the Mexicans won't have any problems with motivation with the support of the fans. In general, the hosts have noticeably improved, it is unlikely that they will be able to beat the top European team, but Mexico is quite capable of playing to a draw.
The second bet is a draw with a coefficient of 3.50
Betting on corners
On the corners, let's pay attention to a promising trend among the guests. Portugal had taken more corners than their opponents in seven of the previous eight matches. There is a high probability that the team will be stronger in this component today.
Prediction – Portugal wins on corners with a handicap (-1.5) with a coefficient of 1.90
