Mexico vs. Iraq preview
Mexico
Mexico set some things straight in their World Cup qualifications. They were the second-best team in the octagonal final of Concacaf and ended their tally with the same points as Canada, although with a worse goal difference. Since officially securing their place at the World Cup, Martino and his team have been unpredictable from one game to another, winning only one of their previous four international fixtures. This upcoming fixture will be the first time they face an Asian opponent since beating Japan 2-0 in a 2020 friendly.
Iraq
Although making it into the final stage of Asian qualifiers for a third successive campaign, still the players of the Iraq national team will be watching the World Cup on TV at home. Iraq had not faced a team outside Asia since January when they defeated Uganda 1-0. Despite not being able to qualify for a World Cup, they certainly want to prepare in the best way to achieve it in 2026.
Mexico vs. Iraq predictions
Mexico failed to win seven of their last eight matches in all competitions when conceding the opener, while Iraq has not suffered a defeat in the previous four years when scoring first. Both teams have not been effective since the end of qualifying. Still, El Tri has faced much more challenging opponents. Iraq is in a transitional phase looking to grow its next generation, so the experienced Mexicans might have the edge over the Iraqis.
