Mexico vs Poland odds and predictions: Who is the favorite in El Tri’s debut in the World Cup?

Mexico open their World Cup Group C campaign against Poland on Tuesday 22 November at the Qatar's Stadium 974. Robert Lewandowski will hope his club-level form carries on to fire Poland through to the next round.

Poland have no problem scoring goals, but they have Robert Lewandowski, who has never scored at a World Cup. Mexico have Raúl Jiménez, a late selection for Gerardo Martino, and he has played 270 minutes at the tournament. Edson Álvarez and Hirving Lozano could bring some spark to the team on the ball, although they haven't played much football recently. This game could be crucial in how things shape up for Group C. Argentina are expected to take top spot, so the fight for second place could come down to this game.

Mexico are 7/4 for the win and Poland are 15/8 for a draw. Mexico's decent defence and stagnant attack are the main reasons for their low odds.

Mexico and Poland are playing their World Cup debut. Mexico are the favorites. Poland is the team that is struggling.
