Before the last day, group C is led by Poland (4 points), followed by Argentina and Saudi Arabia (3) and Mexico (1), so that the Aztec team can only win and wait for the result of the other match.
Highlights of the Mexico team
If they get all three points and there is a defeat for Argentina, they qualify as second regardless of goal difference, but if there is a draw or victory for Argentina, everything will be decided by goal difference.
Mexico has yet to score goals in Qatar and only has five shots between the three rival sticks. Therefore, they will have to improve a lot if they want to have a chance of entering the final rounds, where the group will meet the qualifiers of Group D, made up of France (already qualified), Denmark, Australia or Tunisia.
Since the 1994 World Cup, Mexico has always made it to the round of 16, but its chances have never been as difficult as now. And if he does, he also has the fifth-game barrier that he never surpassed.
Saudi Arabia national team highlights
The Saudis, for their part, after giving the surprise of beating the Argentine national team, with a victory they would go to the round of 16. And against all odds, it could be first in the group against a draw between Poland and Argentina.
On the other hand, if it draws with Mexico, Saudi Arabia will depend on the other result, since it will weigh the goal difference, where it has a negative difference of -one below the South American team and also the European team-.
When will Mexico vs Saudi Arabia play?
The match for Group C will be played at the Lusail stadium in Doha at 4:00 p.m. (Argentine time), at the same time as the match between Argentina and Poland, and will be refereed by English Michael Oliver.
