Mexico will take on Nigeria in an international friendly match on 4th July 2021. This match is scheduled to kickoff in the United Airlines Field at the Memorial Coliseum Los Angeles (USA) with kickoff at 05:30.
Mexico are fresh from a 3-0 victory over Panama on Wednesday, goals scored by Real Betis winger Diego Lainez, Monterrey centre back Ceaser Montes and American striker Henry Martin. And on the other hand Nigeria is coming from a goal less draw with other African Football giants Cameroon last month.
This will be their first meeting since 2014; a match that ended in a 0-0 draw just like the previous year. It is a promisingly exciting match as Nigeria will be looking forward to their first win in their last six matches.
The Super Eagles are preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations while Mexico is preparing for the next stage of the qualifications for the World Cup.
Both teams are coming into this match strong expecting a win. However, Mexico has better chances of winning this match considering their previous results against Nigeria.
We expect few number of goals in this match since both teams are known to play defensive game.
