Mexico host England at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on July 5, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 6:00 PM local time in a World Cup 2026 Round of 16 clash that carries enormous weight for both nations. England enter as the betting favorite at +149, while Mexico, buoyed by a perfect four-match group-stage record and a passionate home crowd, are priced at +210 to advance. The central question for bettors is whether Mexico’s altitude advantage and momentum can offset England’s superior depth and firepower.
England’s odds of +149 reflect a squad that has scored 13 goals across four competitive World Cup 2026 matches, led by Harry Kane, who has netted five times in the tournament so far. Mexico, meanwhile, kept three clean sheets in four group games and have scored eight goals, suggesting Javier Aguirre’s side are operating at a level that warrants serious respect in the World Cup 2026 knockout stage.
