Brazil’s recent form has seen a majority of their games, five out of the last seven, ending with under 2.5 goals scored. On the other side, Mexico have faced some difficulties, losing three of their last five matches and conceding a total of nine goals during these games. Historically, Brazil has had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning three of the last four meetings with a clean sheet and a consistent 2-0 scoreline.
Both teams have been underperforming recently. Ahead of the Copa America, Brazil introduced a new manager, Dorival Junior, who has made a promising start with a 1-0 victory over England followed by a thrilling 3-3 draw against Spain. He’s now focused on preparing his squad for the tournament with a solid performance against Mexico in Texas.
Mexico, known as El Tri, have also been in a slump, losing four out of their last seven games, including losses to Honduras, Colombia, and the United States, culminating in a 4-0 drubbing by Uruguay in their latest match. They appear vulnerable again facing a Brazilian team that has traditionally dominated this fixture.
With Brazil showing signs of improvement under Dorival Junior and possessing a notably stronger squad, another 2-0 victory for the Selecao looks probable, continuing their pattern of success against Mexico.
Betting tip – Brazil win to nil 2/1
