Mexico take on the visitors Germany in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 18th at Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia).
Mexico went to Qatar with the goal of finally breaking the "curse of the round of 16." Starting from 1994, the national team consistently ended their World Cup journey at this stage. They achieved this goal, but not quite as they hoped: they didn't advance from the relatively easy group representing North America. In the local Nations League, Mexicans finished only third in 2023. It wasn't until the summer that they came to life, winning the Gold Cup. The next official matches will be in November, so there's room for experimentation - hence the 3-3 draw with Uzbekistan in September. Now, Jaime Lozano has assembled a fairly experienced squad with a couple of debutants. They started by playing against Ghana and will now face the Germans.

Germany hopes for improvement. "Bundestim" once claimed the status of world champions under Joachim Löw. However, that was back in 2014, and there have been no such successes since then. Yet, "Jogi" only departed after the previous (also unimpressive) European Championship. However, his successor, Hansi Flick, made history but not the way he wanted - he became the first head coach of the German national team to be dismissed. It wasn't after the disastrous World Cup where the favorites once again failed to advance from the group; he was given another chance. However, the German team looked weak in friendly matches. As a result, in September, he was shown the door, and they immediately won 2-1 against France. Then, another former Bayern Munich coach, Julian Nagelsmann, took over. He debuted with a friendly match against the USA on Saturday and now continues the journey.
Germany won the 1998 World Cup and the 2017 Confederations Cup. However, a year later, they unexpectedly lost 1-0 to Mexico in the World Cup. This is a friendly match, so fans can expect an entertaining game. We're looking forward to a "total of over 2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
