SAUDI ARABIA VS MEXICO
Saudi Arabia will face Mexico today in the final round of Group C. The match will be played at the Lusail Stadium at 12.30 am IST.
As the pre-quarter is a crucial match, it will be a life-and-death battle. If they win today, the Saudis can make their pre-quarter dream come true and go down in history.
Meanwhile, Poland only needs to win the Argentina-Poland match to keep Saudi's chances alive if the result is a draw. Meanwhile, Mexico's only chance is victory. They can only enter the knockouts if they beat Saudi Arabia and stay ahead on the goal average. Therefore, Gerardo Martino's team is preparing to enter the field today aiming for a big win.
Their hope lies in players like Lozano and Vega. On the other hand, El Dawsari and Al Shehri are Saudi's strengths. In any case, we can eagerly wait to see who will take the victory when the two teams meet only aiming for the pre-quarters.
