Brazil vs Mexico Soccer Preview-Predictions
After they navigated their way to the summit of Group E at Russia 2018, Brazil’s mission will be to rectify their disappointing defeat at 2014 FIFA World Cup. Brazil played a draw with Switzerland in their opener and leaving it late to claim a 2-0 over Costa Rica, beating Serbia 2-0 to ultimately move on as expected group winners. As we can see Brazil’s journey has been anything but smooth until the Round of 16.
Mexico will need to answer one question: has their momentum going? They started off with two solid wins, a 1-0 victory over Germany, and then Mexico followed up with the defeat over Sweden with 3-0. They can still feel their confidence that they gained while playing in their most recent World Cup meeting with Brazil in 2014. They played a goalless draw in Fortaleza on June the 17th, which has been the only if the four encounters between the two sides that didn’t end in a Brazil victory.
Possible line-ups:
Brazil: Casemiro, Paulinho, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Filipe Luis, Fagner, Willian, Philippe Coutinho, Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Alisson.
Mexico: Hector Herrera, Jonathan Dos Santos, Andres Guardado, Miguel Layun, Hugo Ayala, Carlos Salcedo, Jesus Gallardo, Carlos Vela, Javier Hernandez, Hirving Lozano, Guillermo Ochoa.
