Match description

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 1. Mexico has the best stadium context of the entire round and plays in conditions that can become a real advantage, not just an emotional one. England has more individual quality, but her play in the knockout stages looks more like a series of isolated moments than complete control. If Mexico stays 0-0 in the first half hour, the pressure will start to shift to England. It's a typical World Cup sensation: the favorite has the names, but the host has the rhythm of the match, the energy of the stadium and a better profile for a low 1-0. Our prediction: 39% for Mexico, 32% for draw and 29% for England. Most likely exact score: 1-0. Promotion after the whole match: Mexico (55% vs 45%). Status: BET
