Mexico and Sweden face each other at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in a highly-anticipated pre-World Cup friendly. El Tri aim to impress in their last warm-up game before their WC opener against Sweden, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Wolverhampton forward Raul Jimenez misses out with injury, but Napoli winger Hirving Lozano is back after missing the 4-0 win over Iraq with injury.
The Swedes, on the other hand, failed to book their spot at the showpiece tournament in Qatar. Since the Scandinavians are suffered four defeats in the last five games in all competitions, we are tempted to put our money on the nominal hosts. To make things even worse for the away side, attacking duo Alexander Isak – Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains in the recovery room. When the two teams met at the World Cup finals four years ago Sweden defeated Mexico 3-0, meaning that Tata Martino’s men are hungry for revenge.
