This Monday the serious thing begins for one of the favorites to win the 2018 World Cup Russia, as in Brazil, when in the Samara Arena it faces a tough selection from Mexico.
Brazil:
Those led by Tite started the 2018 World Cup with some doubts after that one-goal draw against Switzerland, but after that the “Verdeamarelha” was far superior to its rivals, it is true that it had to wait until the last seconds for beat Costa Rica, but in that game Brazil dominated the whole game and even deserved to open the game from the first half so that 2-0 victory against the “Ticos” was more than fair and the best thing is that it served to Neymar takes out the pressure he has to take Brazil to the final and collect the rematch of what happened at the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
And then before Serbia was seen a calmer Brazilian team and took advantage of the difference in level between these players to put back a 2-0 victory and thus finish in the first place of their groups, in addition to maintaining an undefeated of fourteen games where ten of them were victories, and against Mexico are determined to continue on the path of triumph.
Mexico:
Meanwhile, the situation of those led by Colombian coach Juan Carlos Osorio was the opposite and is that the Aztec team suffered and much to say present in the round of the 2018 World Cup Russia.
After winning the world championship debut in Germany and then repeating against South Korea, everyone believed that Mexico was assured of its presence in the next stage and more because for the closing of the group stage it was He faced a Sweden team with little offensive power, but that day was fatal for the Aztecs as they were defeated by a convincing 3-0 and they only had to wait for a “miracle” to be fulfilled in the game between South Korea against Germany, as a German triumph left him eliminated, but in the final part of the match appeared Kim Young-Gwon and Son Heung-Min to give the surprise of the World Cup and thereby give only the first win for South Korea in the World Cup Russia 2018, but to break a streak of eight games without knowing of triumphs in world-wide appointments for this Asian selection.
The truth is that Mexico went into the Round of 16 for the seventh consecutive time in a World Cup and now I am beginning the challenge of being able to reach the fifth game in a World Cup, remembering that in the last six editions I did not manage to advance any more.
Possible alignments:
Brazil: Alisson; Miranda, Silva, Fágner, Felipe Luis; Paulinho, Casimiro, Coutinho; William, Neymar, Gabriel Jesus.
Mexico: Ochoa; Salcedo, Ayala, Álvarez, Gallardo; Herrera, Guardado, Layún, Vela, Lozano; Hernandez
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.95
