- Competition: Friendly match
- Date: Saturday, 7th June 2025
- Kickoff: 21:00 UK / 22:00 CEST
- Venue: Rice-Eccles Stadium (Salt Lake City, UT)
The 2026 World Cup will be played in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, so Mexico doesn't have to bother with the qualification this time. Javier Aguirre's team has played well lately, winning four of their last five matches. In March, Mexico won the CONCACAF Nations League after beating Panama 2-1 in the final. This year, their most important matches will take place this summer in the Gold Cup, where Mexico will attempt to win its tenth title. The upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and Turkey will be the perfect tests ahead of the continental championship.
Switzerland played in the previous five World Cups, and qualifying for another is their primary goal for 2025. However, their qualification group starts in September, so Switzerland will use the friendly matches against Mexico and the USA to test some new players and refine some tactical details. Switzerland were far from an impressive side in the last twelve months, as they won only one of the last nine matches. In the previous game, Switzerland defeated Luxembourg 3-1.
Mexico vs Switzerland pick: Mexico to win AH (0)
Switzerland are far from an impressive team in the last twelve months, so Mexico should have a good chance to win on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
Mexico team news
Mexico's head coach Javier Aguirre decided to give players from Monterrey, Pachuca, Cruz Azul, and America CF one week of rest due to the late end of the previous season, so they will not play in the game against Switzerland. Despite that, Mexico have good players in every position on the team and shouldn't have problems covering for the misses.
