As they prepare for an eighth successive trip to the finals, Mexico are coming off a strong showing a week ago, defeating Iraq 4-0, their biggest victory since blanking Nigeria by that same score in June 2021.

In their previous encounter, Gerardo Martino saw his team capitalise on their scoring opportunities, something they struggled to do throughout the qualification campaign.

Finding the back of the net versus Blagult has proven to be exceedingly difficult for them, having failed to score in their last three matches against the Swedes.

Their defeat versus Sweden in 2018 cost them first place in the group, as El Tri conceded three goals in the second half, and as a result had to play Brazil instead of Switzerland in the round of 16.

They went on to lose that knockout stage fixture 2-0, the seventh consecutive defeat for the Mexicans in the last 16 of the finals.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

墨西哥正在为连续第八次进入决赛做准备，他们在一周前表现强劲，4-0击败伊拉克，这是他们自2021年6月以同样的比分淘汰尼日利亚以来取得的最大胜利。

在他们之前的交锋中，杰拉尔多·马蒂诺看到他的球队充分利用了进球机会，这是他们在整个预选赛中努力做到的。

事实证明，在对阵布拉特的比赛中找到球门背面对他们来说是极其困难的，他们在最近三次对阵瑞典人的比赛中都没有进球。

他们在2018年输给瑞典，失去了小组第一的位置，因为西班牙国家队在下半场丢了3球，因此在16强中不得不对阵巴西而不是瑞士。

在淘汰赛阶段，他们以0比2的比分输掉了比赛，这是墨西哥人在决赛16强中连续第7次落败。
