Saudi Arabia vs Mexico prediction and odds ahead of vital 2022 World Cup Group C clash

The Lusail Stadium will play host to the crucial Group C decider between Saudi Arabia and Mexico as both sides look to secure a place in the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar. The hosts neighbour's shocked the footballing world by beating favourites Argentina in their group stage opener and now need another to secure their place in the next round.

The Tricolor are the favourites with Betfred at 4/6 to have a fighting chance of securing the round of 16 while Saudi Arabia are 4/1 and a draw is 16/5.

For Mexico, a win is an absolute must if they have any chance of staying in the competition. They will have to rely on the results between Poland and Argentina with a win for Lewandowski and co securing Mexico's place in the round of 16. If the Argentina and Poland draw then it will come down to goal difference with Argentina - with Messi's side having the superior share with three goals. If Argentina win then goal difference will separate Mexico and Poland.
