LiontipsMexico vs South Africa: betting tip (cf 2.27) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
As one of the hosts of the World Cup, the Mexican national team did not participate in the qualification. Javier Aguirre's team made the main bet on friendly matches during the preparation. Plus, the tricolours won the Gold Cup a year ago, beating the USA in the final (2:1). Separately, it is worth noting that over the past year, the national team has played more than one friendly match against top rivals, in which it looked more than worthy. Draws with Portugal (0:0) and Belgium (1:1) can be noted. In the final sparring match on the eve of the start of the World Cup, the Mexicans defeated Serbia with a score of 5:1. At the moment, the unbeaten streak of the national team has reached eight matches (six wins and two draws).
Midfielders Edson Alvarez and Brian Gutierrez should be singled out for the Mexicans. They are the ones who control the game, and attacks develop through them. Plus, you can't get past goalkeeper Raul Rangel, who has conceded only two goals in the last nine games for the national team. In attack, hopes are largely tied to Raul Jimenez, who scored nine goals at Fulham last season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Malagon, Huescas, Ruiz and Lozano are out of the application.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the previous five matches of the Mexican national team, more than two offsides were not recorded.
- There was no goal exchange in six of the Mexicans' eight previous matches.
The approximate composition: Rangel – Reyes, Montes, Vasquez, M. Chavez – E. Alvarez – Alvarado, Fidalgo, Gutierrez, Quinones – R. Jimenez.
Current form
The South African national team sensationally took first place in the qualifying group and received a ticket to the World Cup, leaving Nigeria out. Despite this, Hugo Broos's team did not play well in defense in qualifying, conceding nine goals. This is the worst indicator among all the teams that took the first places in their qualifying groups in Africa. Later, after qualifying, the yellow-green ones did not impress with their results. They got out of the group at the African Cup of Nations, but immediately lost to Cameroon in the 1/8 finals (1:2). We have not won a single victory in the last four friendly matches, and we played against far from the top rivals: Panama (1:1 and 1:2), Nicaragua (0:0), Jamaica (1:1).
The backbone of South Africa consists of the players of the local championship. Among the foreign players, only Lyle Foster from Burnley in England, Ime Okon from Hanover and Sfifelo Sithoul from Tondela in Portugal can be mentioned.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ncota and Morena are outside the application. Entering the Modib field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last five matches, the South African national team has not won a single victory.
- South African players fouled less often than their opponents in four of the last five matches.
Approximate line–up: Williams – Mudau, Okon, Mbokazi, Kabini – Mokoena, Adams – Apollis, Zvane, Mofokeng - Foster.

Tip and bets
Mexico rightfully gets the status of a favorite in the line of bookmakers. Firstly, the tricolor team has an even and balanced composition, each line has leaders who are in leading roles in their European clubs. Secondly, during the year the Mexicans successfully played in friendly matches, and they looked convincing against the background of the top national teams, they did not lose to Portugal and Belgium. Thirdly, the home field factor and the support of the local public are also on the side of Javier Aguirre's players.
What can the South African national team do against the hosts? Perhaps only dedication and great motivation. The squad is almost entirely made up of players from the local championship, which is far from the strongest. Recent results in friendly matches are completely unimpressive, neither Panama, nor the national team of Nicaragua, nor Jamaica were able to beat. We are not waiting for a sensation and are betting on a confident victory for the favorite with an advantage of at least two goals.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Mexico by a factor of 2.27
Bet on the total
Mexico has achieved a lot of success in recent matches due to its reliable defensive play. In the previous ten friendly meetings, the Tricolours conceded only four goals, and scored five of the last six wins with a dry score. There is a high probability that the Mexicans will play for zero today.
The second bet is that the South African national team will not score with a coefficient of 1.72
Betting on corners
Despite the numerous setbacks, the South African national team is doing well in the corners. In seven of the nine previous matches, the yellow-greens played more serves from the corner flag than their opponents. Based on this trend and the odds in the betting line, we recommend another bet.
Betting Tip – South Africa wins on corners with a handicap (+2.5) with a coefficient of 1.75
