Match Analysis

Mexico

Mexico at home in a World Cup knockout match is always dangerous. The Azteca atmosphere — or whichever stadium hosts this — will be extraordinary, and El Tri have a tradition of performing in front of their own fans. Their attacking play throughout the tournament has been direct and creative, and England’s tendency to be nervy in knockout matches is well documented. At 3.14–3.19, backing Mexico is one of the better value plays in the Round of 16.

England

England carry quality and recent momentum into this tie. After a professional performance against DR Congo, they’ll be confident of handling Mexico — but the environment will be unlike anything they’ve faced in the tournament so far. England’s squad has the composure and technical ability to manage the occasion if they stay disciplined, and at 2.41–2.44 the market gives them a meaningful edge. Their key will be an early goal to quiet the crowd.
