Mexico: Strong performance and top of the table (Recent form: W W D D W)

Mexico are on top of the table and need at least a draw in this game or win in order to qualify for the semifinals. They finished 2-2 with European champion Portugal and beat New Zealand with 2-1. Against Portugal the game was equal with more ball possession for Mexico, but they was twice behind in the result and equaled it for second time in the last minutes after Moreno scored for 2-2. Then against New Zealand was 0-1 behind at half time, but made a come back to win with 2-1. Only 1 lose for the team in the last year from games in all competitions and this came in friendly vs Croatia with 2-1. In all other games were great after 10 wins and 4 draws.

Russia: Need a win in order to qualify for the semis (Recent form: D W D W L)

Russia won on the start of the tournament with 2-0 over New Zealand, but then in the second game lost against Portugal with 1-0. Against New Zealand was easy as the team dominated in the whole game and missed some chances to win even with more goals, while against Portugal was tougher as conceded goal in the beginning of the match. But then didn't play well and finished the game without a shot on goal. So this lose ended a run from 4 consecutive games without a lose.

NOWGOAL BETTING VERDICT:

After all, Russia have the home advantage on this tournament, but their performance against top team like Portugal was really bad as they finished the game without shot on goal, while Mexico are very good on the tournament and still without a lose after draw with Portugal and win over New Zealand. Mexicans need a draw or win here to qualify for the next stage, while the pressure is on Russia, so I expect a draw or win for Mexico in this game.
