Portugal vs Mexico
Online betting fans prepared themselves for exciting football games the moment the last four of the Confederations Cup was confirmed. All of the teams who made it through are strong powerhouses that showcase fantastic football on the reg.
Now that Chile and Germany are poised to meet in the final, Portugal and Mexico supporters are understandably gutted. However, they will surely cheer their hearts out to help their teams in this close match.
Portugal will get better due to their European prestige. However, Portugal will be without one of the best footballers in history after leaving the tournament to be with his twins. Andre Gomes and Bernardo Silva will need to start their attacks from the wings to threaten Mexico.
Mexico will likely try to meet force with force. While they were soundly beaten by the well-oiled German machine, El Tri had more of the possession and shots on target. Chicharito will be raring to get on the scoreboard after the German defence rendered him scoreless in the semi-final. Guillermo Ochoa and Miguel Layun have the big responsibility of stopping the weakened Portuguese, while Hector Herrera and Jonathan dos Santos will be orchestrating from the midfield.
To be honest, both of these teams are looking eerily similar to each other. It’s highly likely that the game will be a high-scoring one, but the absence of Ronaldo definitely changed the landscape for both teams.
I believe that Mexico are on a roll and should easily steamroll the Ronaldo-less Portugal. While Fernando Santos still have many quality players to field, I think the absence of Renato Sanches from the squad might bite them hard in the end. Punters should seriously consider Mexico +0.25 @ 1.94.
